narrator??


On IMDB Holmes Herbert is credited as the narrator. I'm familiar with his voice and I'm nearly convinced that the narration was via Mel Blanc, not Herbert.
The parrot voice has the typical Blanc inflections as well.
Guess we'll never know.

We are watching right this minute and wondered that same thing! Sure sounds like Mel!

The bird during the card game MUST have been Mel Blanc.

Yes I agree and I suspect the narrator as well.

I have just watched MARK OF THE GORILLA on TCM here in the UK. You are right, the narrator is most definitely not Holmes Herbert. Well spotted.

Count me as one more of the "Mel Blanc" nominees. The opening sequences sounded just like something out of a Looney Tune!
