Original and still superior version of the classic story. What is
scary is that this film special effects in this film actually looks better than
its expensive remake several decades later! (This film deployed
some really good stop motion effects while the remake featured
what was obviously a stunt man in a costume.)
However,
Hollywood doesn't seem to have shaken off the desire to do
another re-make of this classic black & white movie if the
rumors on the Internet is anything to go by. When they will ever
learn?
So
forget any possible re-makes and sequels (the 1976 King
Kong for instance) and see whether it isn't showing
somewhere on late-night television somewhere and find out for
yourself what tall dark strangers see in Fay Wray. . .
