When I began to get serious about creating a catalogue of gorilla suit films, I quickly discovered there were a number of films that appeared to be promising candidates but actually had a trained chimp as the menacing beast or pasted in some stock jungle shots of apes in the wild. THE HAIRY APE has a great one sheet featuring a gruesome looking suit but as far as I have been able to discern - does not appear in the film at all.
Despite the fact that THE MONSTER WALKS (1932) falls into this category of gorilla-free flicks, the poster has a wonderful silhouette of the ambulatory ape.
