Koko's Early Films

Koko is now an international rock star but we old Jews remember where she started her career. It was in "The Monster Walks" featuring Mischa Auer, in 1932. It is a film extremely cheaply done, even by poverty row standards of the time. This completely forgettable film features Koko the Talking Gorilla in a cage in the basement as well as someone who goes around strangling people through walls with a massive set of fake ape hands. The critics recommend that "you should avoid this movie at all costs unless it is the last movie on earth you have not seen and you absolutely have nothing better to spend your time on, like a root canal." I make that extensive to all Mischa Auer oeuvre, who was a good Jew but horrible "artist".
