この映画について

Directed by A. Edward Sutherland • 1933 • United States Starring Charles Ruggles, Lionel Atwill, Gail Patrick Startlingly perverse even by pre-Code standards, this grisly tale of murder and madness stars an unforgettably maniacal Lionel Atwill as wealthy zoologist Eric Gorman, who becomes jealously enraged by any man who expresses interest in his wife (Kathleen Burke). While on a jungle excursion, Gorman hits upon a dastardly scheme for offing those who cross him: using his knowledge of animal behavior to dispose of his victims. Shocking violence and wisecracking comedy come together for a uniquely twisted slice of 1930s horror.
