New print! ​“Ladies and gentlemen, look at Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World!” This pre-Code stop-motion sensation has thrilled for generations, taking us from the tropics to the top of the Empire State Building with a beauty (Fay Wray) and Hollywood’s favorite beast. Upon its release, critics praised KING KONG as ​“so ingenious, and on such a stupendous scale” (Len G. Shaw) with ​“a thrill in every foot of celluloid” (H.H. Niemeyer). Introduction by David Watts. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.

The ​“Treasures from the Yale Film Archive” series is presented with support from Paul L. Joskow ​‘70 M.Phil., ​‘72 Ph.D.
