    Where to Watch

Melodrama about a big-game hunter whose new wife appears to have sinister ancestry. Charlotte Austin, Lance Fuller, Johnny Roth. Beast: Steve Calvert. Dr. Reiner: William Justine. Marka: Jeanne Gerson. Directed by Adrian Weiss.

Austin marries Fuller, then finds him keeping a pet gorilla in a cage. She discovers herself attracted to the ape. Fuller kills the ape; then Austin, under hypnotic regression, discovers she was a gorilla in a former life, answering doubts about her peculiar infatuation. When she and hubby are on safari in Africa (exclusively stock footage), a gorilla makes off with her and that's the name of that tune.
