Viewing Notes

The first of three (!) films featuring a gorilla that receives a brain transplant and some glandular grafts that turn it into a woman in appearance. Featuring Native American actress Acquanetta as the ape woman. Lots of actual lion taming scenes which are both fascinating and a little sad to see. Glad that’s not much of a thing in circuses anymore.
