I'm trying to identify a great film I saw in the mid-to-late 70's on TV that was made in the late 60s/early to mid 70s (I believe), that had some scientists doing experiments on chimpanzees who were named after world conquerors such as Alexander the Great & Julius Caesar (the chimps, not the scientists lol). Things naturally go awry, and the last shot was a chilling one of the final scientist left alive locked in a room, and a chimp's face looking in through the door's window. Any clues??? Cheers!
Mystery 70's chiller with intelligent chimps?

Crikey, I hope someone solves this one because it sounds right up my chimp house as it were.

So do I! I have the feeling the lab/experimental building was somewhere chilly, like the arctic, but not sure...

I went through this extensive list and it is either not there or I missed it. This list doesn't have TV movies, maybe it's that.

I have to say this sounds like a tv episode of something like Tales Of The Unexpected or Hammer House Of Horror, one of those type programmes that were quite popular in the 70's and early 80's over here. I don't know if it is, but that'd be my guess.

Of course, I suppose it's just a coincidence that a chimpanzee character named Caesar (Roddy McDowell as an adult) played an important role in The Planet of the Apes series of movies.

Not unless the last shot of one of the Planet of the Apes movies has 'a scientist left alive locked in a room, and a chimp's face looking in through the door's window' ...
Heck maybe it was Conquest or Battle eh. Who knows...don't remember that being the final shot on either though, and I own all em'.

I don't remember it either, but I would have hoped that they actually showed a significant moment in the sequels. Then again, it does sound semi-familiar as a TV show and as some frosty location (which would add to the concept of it being TV).

The downbeat ending sounds like something more likely from a TV movie or an anthology series, or anthology movie with several stories.

I had seen a similar movie which is set entirely in a building, where bunch of employees play this Role Playing game after midnight. Their task is to track down a hidden object.
Until somehow experimental ape shows up and starts killing them one by one..
I had seen this when I was a kid.. I remember enjoy it a lot..

Shakma would be your movie genesis_pig. Some other movies that come to mind. Project X, Link, Monkey Shines, Primal Rage, and In the Shadow of Kilimanjaro but these were all made in the 80's.
