King Kong (1933)

From Sean Pultz:

My own commentary track to the original 1933 classic King Kong.

Leveled and noise-filtered

Fay Wray … only worked on the film for 10 weeks, but those 10 weeks were spread out over 10 months. There was so much time between filming periods that some of the actors were able to make entire movies. — Sean Pultz,

I always like when [Kong] turns into a little monkey and plays with the [dead dinosaur's] jaw. — Sean Pultz,

It makes you sympathize for [Kong]. ‘Cause this is, again, a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ story, in the same vein of Hunchback of Notre Dame or Phantom of the Opera, where he’s not fully evil. He’s just misunderstood. — Sean Pultz,

$10 per ticket, this would have been a tremendous cost in Depression-wrecked 1933. In contrast, a ticket to see the 1933 New York Yankees … or to this movie itself, it would have been about 35 cents. — Sean Pultz,
