Movie Reviews

Synopsis:
This bizarre pre-code horror film follows the exploits of a wealthy zookeeper whose incredible insecurity about his marriage leads him to murder the man he feels his wife has fallen in love with. He accomplishes his gruesome crime by sewing his rival's mouth shut then abandoning him in the jungle. A chain of death follows, as the doctor attempts to keep the murder a secret, and all his weapons of choice come from the animal kingdom: tigers, alligators, lions, snakes. But he who lives by the sword, often dies by the sword....

Notes:
The twenty-five pound python used in the film was named "Oswald".
