I was expecting maybe a King Kong sequel, or Mighty Joe Young, but instead got this screen adaptation of a Eugene ONeill play. Earlier in the year we saw William Bendix as the doomed sailor, in Lifeboat. It seems his luck hasnt changed with this role. I dont recall another Susan Hayward role where she played an unsympathetic character. The Hairy Ape is not available from Netflix, but it is on youtube. Link below.
