I have actually been holding on to this collection of rare production drawings and behind the scenes images from the original King Kong (1933) for some times. They were sent to me by a fan of my old Monster Island News blog. I honestly don't know why I didn't share them earlier, it was just laziness I suppose. I think that both monster movie fans and classic movie fans will get a real kick out seeing these.
Many fans consider King Kong to be the greatest monster movie of all time. It's hard to argue with that, considering that the film inspired a generation of film makers, special effects technicians and a long list of gigantic monsters who thrill audiences even today.
In the classic adventure that made her a star, Fay Wray plays the beautiful woman who conquers the savage heart of a giant ape. Traveling to an uncharted South Pacific island with an adventurer following tales of a God-Ape, Ann Darrow (Wray) is captured by the island's natives to serve as a human sacrifice to Kong. But when Kong, a giant ape, sees Darrow, it is overcome with love--and eventually captured by the adventurers. Taken to New York and put on display, Kong breaks free and pursues Darrow through New York in one of the most famous scenes ever filmed. - TCM
