Description of this King Kong 1933 Poster
King Kong is a 1933 American Pre-Code adventure horror film directed and produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, with special effects by Willis H. O’Brien. Produced and distributed by RKO Radio Pictures, it is the first film in the King Kong franchise. The film stars Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, and Bruce Cabot. In the film, a giant ape nicknamed Kong attempts to possess a beautiful young woman.
King Kong opened in New York City on March 2, 1933, to critical acclaim and has since been ranked by Rotten Tomatoes as the greatest horror film of all time and the fifty-sixth greatest film of all time. In 1991, it was deemed “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. A sequel, titled Son of Kong, was fast-tracked and released that same year, with several other films made over the next few decades, including two remakes in 1976 and 2005, respectively, and a reboot in 2017.
In New York Harbor, filmmaker Carl Denham, known for his wildlife films set in remote and exotic locales, charters Captain Englehorn’s ship, the Venture, for his new project. However, he is unable to secure an actress for a female role he has been reluctant to divulge. Searching the streets of New York City, he finds Ann Darrow and promises her the adventure of a lifetime. The crew boards the Venture and sets sail, during which the ship’s first mate, Jack Driscoll, falls in love with Ann. Denham reveals to the crew that their destination is actually Skull Island, an unknown territory. He alludes to a mysterious entity named Kong, rumored to inhabit the island. The crew arrives and anchors offshore. They encounter a native village, separated from the rest of the island by a huge stone wall with a large wooden gate. They see a group of natives preparing to sacrifice a young woman called “Kong’s bride.” The intruders are spotted, and the native chief stops the ceremony. When he sees Ann, he offers to trade six of his tribal women for the “golden woman.” They refuse and return to the ship. That night, the natives kidnap Ann from the ship and take her through the gate to an altar, where she is offered to King Kong, a giant gorilla-like beast. Kong carries a terrified Ann away as Denham, Jack, and some volunteers enter the jungle in hopes of rescuing her. They encounter a living dinosaur, a charging Stegosaurus, which they manage to kill. Shortly after, the crew encounters an aggressive Brontosaurus and eventually Kong himself, leaving Jack and Denham as the only survivors. After Kong kills a Tyrannosaurus rex that tried to eat Ann, Jack continues to follow them while Denham returns to the village for more men. Upon arriving at Kong’s mountain lair, Ann is threatened by a snake-like Elasmosaurus, which Kong also kills. While Kong is distracted killing a Pteranodon that tried to fly away with Ann, Jack reaches him, and they climb down a vine hanging from a cliff ledge. When Kong notices and begins to pull them up, the two fall into the water below. They make their way through the jungle and back to the village, where Denham, Englehorn, and the surviving crew members are waiting. Kong then opens the door and relentlessly washes himself up into the village. Onshore, Denham, now determined to bring Kong back alive, renders him unconscious with a gas bomb.
In chains, Kong is taken to New York City and introduced to a Broadway theater audience as “Kong, Eighth Wonder of the World!” Ann and Jack are brought onstage to join him, surrounded by a group of press photographers. Kong, believing the ensuing flash photography to be an attack, goes on a rampage as the audience flees in horror. Ann is taken to a hotel room on a high floor, but Kong, scaling the building, soon finds her. He speeds through the city as Ann screams within his grasp, destroying a crowded elevated train and eventually scaling the Empire State Building. At its summit, he is attacked by four biplanes. Kong destroys one of them, but ultimately succumbs to their gunfire. He looks at Ann one last time before falling to his death. Jack takes an elevator to the top of the building and reunites with Ann. Denham arrives and pushes through a crowd surrounding Kong’s corpse in the street. When a policeman notices that the planes caught him, Denham tells him, “No, it wasn’t the planes. It was Beauty who killed the Beast.”
