Classic Monsters of the Movies hits it out of the park again, with a towering tribute to King Kong 1933.
Thanks goes to those meticulous authors, Nige Burton and Jamie Jones, who grant the mighty, dino-strewn movie great respect, in a volume packed with pertinent points and historical scoops.
As such, readers are treated to a plethora of details and insights on those who brought the blockbuster to life: Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack, Willis O'Brien, Marcel Delgado, Ruth Rose, Edgar Wallace, Max Steiner, Robert Armstrong, Fay Wray, Bruce Cabot, Frank Reicher, Sam Hardy, Noble Johnson, Victor Wong and more. Photos and sketches help essay the stellar queue, as do Burton and Jones' delightful, trivia blurbs and "quotable quotes."
Behind-the-scenes imagery, along with tidbits on other Kong movies, such as Son of Kong, King Kong 1976 and King Kong 2005, enliven the chest-pounding content as well, establishing this "ultimate guide" as an essential for any serious, cinema buff.
