The Bride and the Beast is a 1958 American horror film produced[2] and directed by Adrian Weiss. The film's screenplay was written by Ed Wood, based on a story by Weiss. Wood's original working title was Queen of the Gorillas.[2][1]
Dan Fuller, a big game hunter, is forced to kill his pet gorilla when it attempts to rape his new bride Laura. The woman starts to experience strange urgings following the encounter, and submits to hypnosis under the care of a psychiatrist. She reveals to her shocked husband that she was actually a gorilla in a previous life. Slowly she reverts to her former bestial self, and winds up eloping into the jungle with a male ape, with her cuckolded husband staring helplessly after them.
Bhogwan Singh as the native killed by tiger in a hut[4]
Productionedit
Ed Wood was inspired by the real-life Bridey Murphy story currently in the headlines, and worked stock jungle animal footage from a Sabu movie into the storyline.[2]
Mark Thomas McGee said that Weiss told him that he considered the film "a minor classic", while lead actress Charlotte Austin commented on the incredible cheapness, using one of Weiss's relatives to physically turn the wheels of the stationary truck the actors were sitting in, to make it appear the vehicle was moving.[2]
Releaseedit
The Bride and the Beast opened in San Diego on January 29, 1958.[1]
