King Kong

Merian C. Cooper directs this classic monster movie about a magnificent beast who falls in love with a woman. Film-maker Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong) and actress Ann Darrow (Fay Wray) arrive on the prehistoric Skull Island to shoot a film.

While there, they encounter a giant ape known as King Kong, who is worshipped as a god by the island's native inhabitants. The mighty Kong shows his sensitive side by falling for Ann, and, after being transported to New York to be displayed on Broadway, rampages across the city in search of his new love with the military hot on his heels.
