Bela Lugosi
In 1952, movie producer Jack Broder, president of Realart Pictures, hired Mitchell and Petrillo to star opposite aged screen legend Bela Lugosi and the latest incarnation of the Tarzan film-series chimpanzee Cheeta in a low-budget, jungle-themed comedy, "Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla" (also known as "The Boys From Brooklyn").
