A landmark film and a marvel
in stop-motion animation, King Kong is the story about the giant
ape who is captured on prehistoric Skull Island and brought back
by boat to New York City. Robert Armstrong stars as the adventurer
Carl Denham, who leads the trip to the strange island to photograph
the monster. Along for the trip is Ann Darrow (Fay Wray) and
Bruce Cabot as John Driscoll, the ship's first mate. King Kong's
last stand atop the Empire State Building is one of the more
memorable scenes in movie history.
