King Kong (1933)
The 1933 original by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack (gorilla by Willis O'Brien) about the mammoth jungle beast brought back, in harness, to sophisticated Manhattan, where it throws a fit and gets pounded into the pavement for its natural impulses. The film has been matched in situation and certainly in special effects, and it retains its kingly status because of, more than anything else, its up-front place in the chronological line. Bruce Cabot, Fay Wray. 1933.
