Bride of the Gorilla (1951) | Full Movie Restored in HD | Both Black & White and Colorized Versions

Bride of the Gorilla
I downloaded this movie in SD from the Archive and upscaled to FHD using AI, with 50% facial enhancement for added detail and sharpening set to 5%. I also increased the frame-rate from 24fps to 60fps.
After restoring the black-and-white version, I colorized it with soft AI settings, adjusting saturation to reduce red flashes and create a smoother viewing experience.
🔹 Note: Colorization is never perfect, and you may notice occasional red flashes or minor color inconsistencies. For an optimal experience, the original black-and-white version is also included.
The full restoration process took just over 24 hours to complete.
A short clip at the beginning highlights the restoration work. Skip to 00:06:07 for the black-and-white version or 01:11:53 for the colorized version.
"Bride of the Gorilla (1951), directed by Curt Siodmak, a steamy jungle drama unfolds as Barney Chavez (Raymond Burr), a plantation manager, marries the enchanting Dina Van Gelder (Barbara Payton) after her husband’s mysterious death. However, Barney’s lust and ambition come with dire consequences when a native curse transforms him into a gorilla-like creature. Haunted by his primal instincts and pursued by the determined local police commissioner, Taro (Lon Chaney Jr.), Barney struggles to escape his fate. This atmospheric blend of horror and melodrama explores themes of guilt, power, and the dark forces of the supernatural."

Let Barney go, Dina. He is for the streets!😅

I wish he'd let us know ahead of time how to find the colorized version. I would have skipped ahead to it. Now I don’t feel like watching it over again in color.

Curt Siodmak wrote Universals "Wolfman". Most suppose it to be based on European folklore but no. Its a product of a Hollywood screenwriters imagination. The Were Wolf is rooted in European myth.
