Spy movie

Not bad at all, a nice slow developing movie The country was on the "if you see something, say something mode" during those years, Hollywood was running behind the culture back then but writing scripts to fit life at that time.

they never show this one.... for a reason

Wartime flick ! John Loder is Captain Killian, a wounded soldier who has been brought to the hospital for repair. But that hospital is also a nest of nazi spies. Can they get the information they want out of him before he figures it out and tries to escape? Directed by Ross Lederman. Did westerns, wartime, and many other films. Written by Anthony Coldeway.. he was nominated for Glorious Betsy. They hardly ever show this one. Mildly entertaining.

Excellent little espionnage yarn

Of course, any movie buff will think of 36 HOURS plot watching this one. The scheme is very rare, bizarre, daring for the mid forties, even as a propaganda film. This movie is the best example to show how great some B pictures can be from time to time, among many other ones, unfortunately mostly bland, flat, boring, looking all alike. If you are lucky enough, you can find some golden diamind gems like this one. It is rare, not available on you tube, and I admit that I was lucky to have purchased it a long time ago thru a broker whom I have forgotten about. A TV taping off, I guess. A real true gem from D Ross Lederman. I guess his best film.

Fifth column at the hospital

The Gorilla Man is a wartime espionage story starring John Loder with a ton of th character players from Hollywood's British colony. Loder is a wounded RAF pilot at a coastal hospital that's run by a small cohort of Nazi spies.

Loder has found out where the planned invasion of the United Kingdom is to be made and he wants to tell those in power. But the bad guys frame him for a murder and he's now a hunted one.

Some similarities between. The classic 39 Steps of Alfred Hitchcock and the James Garner film 36 Hours. Nowhere close to those and the plot has to manu holes,

And if you want to know the origin of the title, The Gorilla Man you watch the movie.

Early 36 HOURS (1965) plot twist.

The general premise here is repeated in the James Garner movie, 36 HOURS (1965): a wounded American soldier is in a hospital involving Nazi agents. The key to each film plot, however, changes drastically. In this plot, the penchant for displaying the ferocious covert attack of the Germans against the Allies is followed, but for a different reason. You see, in 36 HOURS, the protagonist discovers... Ah! but you'll have to rent or buy that video to find out that one! If you're a classic spook or intrigue fan, I believe you, too, will give this one at least 6 stars of 10.

Dr. Dorn would be sending the message he is the discredited Capt. Killian in code, not plain language that Killian could read via the Morse code he heard via radio interference.
