Cooking Do It Yourself Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (also known as The Boys from Brooklyn and in England as Monster Meets the Gorilla) is a 1952 American comedy horror science fiction film directed by William Beaudine and starring horror veteran Bela Lugosi with nightclub performers Duke Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo in roles approximating the then-popular duo of Martin and Lewis. In the film two entertainers parachute out of an airplane and land on the Island of Kola Kola. They are offered hospitality by the natives and find love interests in the local chief's daughters. Wishing to find a way out of the island they visit a scientist's castle. The scientist is conducting experiments in evolution using a chimpanzee as his test subject. He later conducts a similar experiment on one of the entertainers transforming the man into a gorilla.
