description The Gorilla Overview
The Gorilla is a 1927 American silent comedy-mystery adapted from Ralph Spence's Broadway play of the same name. A killer in a gorilla costume creates an apparent monster threat, while a pair of bumbling detectives tries to identify the culprit and protect the people involved. The film combines murder mystery, farce, disguise, and horror imagery, treating the gorilla figure as a theatrical device for suspense and comic confusion rather than as a real animal. It belongs to the cycle of silent films adapted from stage plays.
