Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-13 00:00:00 Stuart Mcdermott I once saw the 1933 King Kong with my sweetheart at the Los Angeles Theatre on Broadway in DTLA. I believe it was a Los Angeles Conservancy screening of the film. The very large movie palace was packed to the gills and everyone marveled at King Kong in all of his black & white glory. Ray Morton book's is a great summary of Mr. Kong in all of his various permutations: fighting Godzilla; animated; in a Volkswagen car commercial; the very groovy 1976 remake. If you have an affinity for the King of Skull Island this is your book. To check out the above referenced 1972 Volkswagen commercial see below link:

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-10 00:00:00 Matthew Leclerc I enjoyed this history of the King Kong films. The upside to this book was all the details about each of the Kong movies. The downside to this book was all the details about each of the Kong movies. I would have enjoyed this book more if there had been more personal information about the folks involved in making each of the films.What I tired of was the technical information about each and every scene in each and every film. The author complained that all those involved in the early films were now dead, and couldn't be interviewed.While this is true,I recently saw a filmed interview with Fay Ray and a recorded interview with Mr. Cooper (Kong and Son of Kong). There is a lot of good information in this book, and if you're looking for mostly a technical guide, then this is the book for you.If you're looking for personal information that's not been available before, then this book falls short. I'm glad that I read it. The author and I were just looking for different things.Our interests were not the same.
