Viewing Notes
In clearing some DVR space, I chose Murders in the Zoo (broadcast on Halloween) to view first. Man, this is some wild movie! Even more so for 1933… seriously, he threw her in the alligator pool to be devoured alive? What year was this again? Talk about horrifying. Directed by A. Edward Sutherland this is obviously pre-code. Rare to see something so violent (even the uncaged animals attacking each other is gruesome). Love pre-code films!
