Starring J. Carrol Naish, Ralph Morgan, Tala Birell, Wanda McKay and Glenn Strange
Having not seen this PRC entry since the 70s or 80s, I recently checked it out again on the HORROR CLASSICS 50 MOVIE PACK from Treeline Films. It’s a decent Poverty Row film with a good cast and story. J. Carrol Naish plays the devilishly evil Dr. Markoff. He is searching for a cure for acromegaly (the real disease which plagued poor Rondo Hatton), but places passion above any noble cause. Ralph Morgan as Anthony Lawrence, creates much sympathy for his victimized character. The film also features a menacing gorilla, great make-up and our old pal Glenn Strange as a brutish assistant. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this one again.

A flea bath might help this ornery critter’s disposition.

Mama said there'd be days like this.

Too bad Anthony Lawrence couldn’t have filled Professor Deemer [from TARANTULA (1955)] in on the treatment. Surely Deemer would have been so grateful he'd have showered Anthony with holiday gifts each year saying, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence!"
