Trivia
Milburn Stone, generally used by Universal as a supporting player, played the lead because his wiry frame and naturally curly hair matched the archival shots of Clyde Beatty used as Fred Mason, Stone's character.

Goofs
The same shot of two lions fighting in a circus cage that is used about 12 minutes into the film is re-utilized near the end of the film during the storm sequence.

Quotes
[first lines]
Dockworker: Clear the dock! Clear the dock!

Connections
Edited from The Big Cage (1933)

Gorilla my dreams--LOL--sorry, but I just had to say that!!

Typical 1940's Universal monster film. It is enjoyable and is a nice way to spend an hour. The cinematography, when they show the sanitarium, is spooky looking. Now that I think of it, it looks like the same mansion that was used in "Munster, Go Home". Could have been, as both of these films were filmed at Universal!! I liked this film, but then I like all of those Universal monster films.
