King Kong is a landmark 1933 Hollywood horror-adventure film in black-and-white about a gigantic prehistoric gorilla named Kong.
The film was made by RKO and was written originally for the screen by Edgar Wallace, Ruth Rose, and James Ashmore Creelman from a concept by Merian C. Cooper. A novelization of the screenplay actually appeared before the film, in 1932, adapted by Delos W. Lovelace, and contains descriptions of scenes not in the movie.
The film was directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack and starred Bruce Cabot and Robert Armstrong. It is notable for Willis O’Brien’s ground breaking stop-motion animation work, Max Steiner’s musical score, and actress Fay Wray’s performance as the ape’s improbable love interest. King Kong premiered in New York City on March 2, 1933.
