The basic story is of Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong), who makes those cute little animal pictures that are going out of style. If he wants to stay in business, he must add a female interest and some excitement. Circumstances forced him to leave port quickly, and he met a girl, Ann Darrow (Fay Wray), who was down on her luck, and he convinced her that he would make her a star (on the up and up).
Things get complicated, as you know, it is bad luck to bring a woman on board a freighter. And Ann stirs them up, including the first mate, Jack Driscoll (Bruce Cabot). On top of this, she has a large date awaiting her at Skull Island.
I will not tell the rest of the story, just in case you are one of the few who have missed the movie. But as you have guessed, it includes a big ape named KONG. Not that cheesy thing that is always tussling around in J-a-p-a-n-e-s-e film, but a much more convincing Kong that can show great emotion. Naturally, Kong falls for Ann in a fly-by-night gripping romance.
You are about to watch the eighth wonder of the world.
