    Middling 1940s horror movie with John Carradine playing a mad scientist converting an ape into a woman. Could've made for a cheesy entertaining film that I couldn't enjoy with the clear animal abuse; fine for the times I know, but was at times hard to watch. **2.5/5**

    ohn Carradine is a scientist bent on discovering a way to morph animals into people - quite why, we are not sure - and so when he develops a method that involves transplanting human glands into the beasties, his loyal nurse is horrified. Unfortunately for her (and us) she is soon incorporated into his experiments and the resulting creature "Beth" (Evelyn Ankers) is both menacing and hilarious in equal measure... Add to the mix some good, old-fashioned, lion taming - complete with whips and chairs and the whole thing descends into a farce in a big top with some really risible visual effects that two minutes with a Gillette could sort out swiftly and effectively. Carradine rescues it to a certain extent, he always did have the mesmerising eyes required for this kind of role, but otherwise it is pretty pitiful stuff.
