KING KONG (Merian C. Cooper & Ernest B. Schoedsack, 1933, 35mm, 100 mins)New print! “Ladies and gentlemen, look at Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World!” This pre-Code stop-motion sensation has thrilled for generations, taking us from the tropics to the top of the Empire State Building with a beauty (Fay Wray) and Hollywood’s favorite beast. Upon its release, critics praised KING KONG as “so ingenious, and on such a stupendous scale” (Len G. Shaw) with “a thrill in every foot of celluloid” (H.H. Niemeyer). Introduction by David Watts. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
The “Treasures from the Yale Film Archive” series is presented with support from Paul L. Joskow ‘70 M.Phil., ‘72 Ph.D.
