“Am I dreamin’ or did I just see a gorilla?”
An African girl (Terry Moore) is best friends with a twelve-foot tall ape named Joe she grew up with. American promoter Max O’Hara (Robert Armstrong) persuades the girl to bring her ape to America to take part in his show. You can pretty much guess how this will go wrong even if you haven’t seen King Kong.First big role for Ben Johnson as a cowboy who falls for Moore. He’s pretty wooden here but then again he was a fairly wooden actor throughout his career. He does his usual John Wayne, Jr. routine. Lots of “Yassir” and “Ah reckon” type stuff. Robert Armstrong plays a role very much like Carl Denham from King Kong, although a little more comedic. Terry Moore is more Helen Mack than Fay Wray. That is to say she’s cute but not much screen presence.
Re-teaming of many of the King Kong team for a story that is very similar to that film, although different enough to keep this from being considered a remake. The story is mostly kid stuff and fluff but cute nonetheless. The Willis O’Brien/Ray Harryhausen special effects alone are worth checking this movie out.
Worthy Follow-Up to King Kong!
A wonderfully entertaining slant on “King Kong” by Kong’s creators, Cooper and Schoedsack (along with John Ford). Much better than Kong’s 1934 sequel, “Son of Kong”, which was hurriedly made. The creators put a lot of thought and effort into this worthy follow-up and it shows. More superb special effects from Willis O’Brien as technical director, featuring the budding talents of protege, Ray Harryhausen.
