To the great credit of director and co-writer Colin West and said cast and crew, Double Walker makes a point of working terrifically within its limitations.
These days, it’s increasingly likely that any audience for The Naked Ape would arrive to it far less interested in it for its subject matter (much of which is outdated science, anyhow), but rather for its odd niche as a cultural relic. In such, Code Red takes a barebones approach to its Blu-ray release of the film.

Several years before Orson Welles went after media mogul William Randolph Hearst with Citizen Kane, the Wendel family- an affluent clan of New York real estate barons- became the target of 1934’s Double Door. Film historian Tom Weaver describes the real-life Wendels (led by the spinster sisters Ella and Rebecca) to have been “…as weird as they were rich…. And they were very rich!”
Kino Lorber Studio Classics’ Blu-ray edition of Illustrious Corpses is a very welcome addition to the world of high definition physical media. Despite the film’s reputation, it hasn’t previously been among the easiest to find entries in respected World Cinema. Rosi’s film is a ponderous and largely non-verbal one, all the more ideal when it comes to star Lino Ventura.
