"I Can't Believe It! It's Too Ghastly!"...

GORILLA SHIP is a misleading title, causing visions of men in ratty go-rilla suits romping around at sea. Fortunately, that's not the case.

This is a drama / thriller about three people rescued at sea, and taken aboard a ship run by Capt. "Gorilla" Larsen (Ralph Ince), and his band of scurvy sea dogs. Once aboard, these new arrivals soon discover that being guests on this Captain's ship is no yachting holiday!

Larson is an ill-tempered, surly sot, who certainly lives up to his nickname! Adding to the fun, the trio of passengers have some secrets of their own, especially Phil (Wheeler Oakman), who just might be worse than his irascible host!

A couple of nice twists help to make this a keeper...
