King Kong (1933)
Directed by Merian C.
Cooper & Ernest B. Schoedsack this film stars Fay Wray, Bruce
Cabot and Robert Armstrong. A famous filmmaker charters a ship and
hires a young woman to play the lead role in a mysterious project.
The story of this film
is well known by now but most watching will quickly pick up the
underlying racism in the plot. Apart from the distasteful undertones
this is a fairly average action plot that goes a long at a nice pace.
What keeps people coming back to this film are the impressive set
pieces and the special effects that hold up surprisingly well as they
combine to make some iconic sequences.
4/5
