But he was a youthful 34 when he made that movie.

In keeping with King of New York vibe, this one is one of the most notorious cop movies ever made.
If my memory serves, directed by the same guy that did King of New York.

Actually a pretty fun movie. Not up to Hellraiser standards, but worlds better than Rawhead Rex.

Why do you mention those movies? Is this a Clive Barker pic?

A roommate had the books of blood sitting on his shelf and after the first few pages, I was hooked. Even used Rawhead Rex is a bad guy in one of my D&D campaigns.

edit: And...lol. Looking at the wiki page I see this is a short story of his from the books of blood. Well, in my defense that was a long time ago, I'm old, there were a lot of stories in the entire series and...well I'm old.

Yes, it is. But I didn't know that when it appeared as a random movie on FX.

I know this movie and I know it was made at least twice under different titles. I just can't remember which title belongs to the Lorre version, so I'll just have to guess The Hands of Orlac. If not that it's

Sorry -sometimes my old man's memory fails. Make that The Beast With Five Fingers. I'll continue in the Halloween vein (as Zacherley would say).

One thin I neglected to mention - this movie was released with two different titles. Bonus points for knowing both.

I'm going to post a gimmee, since that's all I have left, and if y'all are still in the dark, I'll reveal the answer.

Nobody?

The always amazing Wm. "One Shot" Baudine presents:

aka The Boys From Brooklyn

The story behind the movie is more interesting than the movie itself:

Comedian Sammy Petrillo had established something of a career imitating comedian Jerry Lewis, whom he resembled closely. Petrillo and singer Duke Mitchell - who took on the Dean Martin role - played in various clubs in Las Vegas among other cities. Maurice Duke, who managed the duo, had pitched the idea of Petrillo and Mitchell starring in a movie to several studios. Duke eventually pitched the idea to Realart Pictures Inc. co-owner Jack Broder and his assistant, producer Herman Cohen. Duke then took Broder to see Petrillo and Duke perform in Culver City. While Broder thought the duo was hilarious, Herman Cohen (who saw the duo's act later) said he thought Petrillo and Mitchell "stunk". Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla was to be the first in a series of films starring Mitchell and Petrillo, but this wound up as their only film together.

Petrillo had originally worked for actor/comedian Jerry Lewis. He got an appointment with an agent who set up a meeting with Lewis, who then cast him in a sketch on the NBC show The Colgate Comedy Hour. For $60, he played Jerry Lewis as a baby in a crib. However, according to Herman Cohen, Jerry Lewis was furious when he heard that Sammy Petrillo and Duke Mitchell had formed a team that was imitative of his act with Dean Martin and that they were to appear in a film together. Gary Lewis, Jerry's eldest son was quoted, "When Sammy and the other guy played in that gorilla movie, I remember my dad and Dean saying, ‘We got to sue these guys — this is no good.’" Lewis, who knew Jack Broder through the Friars Club of Beverly Hills, showed up at Jack Broder's office. The two got into a screaming match over the film and Lewis stormed out yelling obscenities. Paramount Pictures producer Hal B. Wallis, who then had Martin and Lewis under contract and also knew Broder through the Friars Club, threatened to sue Broder for releasing a film that featured a duo that closely resembled Martin and Lewis. Wallis and Broder later had a meeting after filming had completed and, according to Herman Cohen, Broder offered to sell Hal Wallis the negative to the film for a substantial amount of money. Wallis agreed to buy it so he could destroy it but Broder and Wallis could not agree on price. Broder released the film and Wallis never spoke to Broder again.

Bela Lugosi was cast because Realart Pictures Inc., the company that produced the film, had reissued many of Lugosi's Universal horror films from the 1920s and 1930s. By 1952, Lugosi's career had sharpy declined and he hadn't worked in years. The film's associate producer Herman Cohen later recalled that Lugosi was quite ill at the time due to his addiction to morphine but acted professionally and was nice. The film was originally to be titled White Woman of the Lost Jungle. The Gorilla title was thought up by Jack Broder's ten-year-old son. Associate producer Herman Cohen decided it would be foolish not to exploit Bela Lugosi's appearance in the film and decide to retitle the film using Lugosi's name.
