    Sixteen years after King Kong, director Schoedsack, producer Merian C. Cooper, and special effects wizard Willis O'Brien teamed up to make another thrilling movie about an out of control gorilla. The target of Joe Young's rampage is a crowd of Hollywood honchos out to exploit the big ape's talents. O'Brien's assistant was Ray Harryhausen -- this is the first feature to contain his marvelous style of stop-motion animation.
