The Ape Man
Kinda surprised MST never did this one: Bela Lugosi turns himself into an ape in a Poverty Row B movie from the early 40s: ape suits, WW 2 references, and the most WTF? ending until Monster a Go Go came along.

"The Ape Man" (1943).
I believe this movie and its sequel are both about an hour long. Probably too short for MST3K's run on cable television -- but would work just fine for Rifftrax today!
If nothing else, this movie should be riffed so that you can riff the sequel. That one stars Bela Lugosi AND John Carradine. It can't miss!
NOTE: This movie is on YouTube and might be in the public domain.
