Never watched it. I see it’s a real old movie 1934, before my time.

With the changing landscape of our society, it is much too violent and probably racist since it degrades boogeymen.
The new version will have our heroes working in a marshmellow factory.

And WDHA is playing Alice's Restaurant at 9AM, Noon and 5PM.

I wouldn't doubt it. For 1933, KK looked amazing for decades. The poster is the one that brought highest price at auction.

My second fav Million Dollar Movie was "Trapeze" with Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis and Gina Lollobrigida.

GONE WITH THE WIND theme fits these days

Trapeze was great also. The quest for the triple

I also remember as a kid that The Alamo was on every Thanksgiving also. We used to go to my uncle's house and I can remember him saying to me after it was over..."they lost again?"

I think its the best circus movie ever made. It has "a ring" to it that I believe stems from fact Lancaster was actually a circus acrobat who got hurt and lost his career.

Bac WTF do you have me watching lol. I never heard of this till today. I put it on and see a man dressed as a women crying then some creepy pigmen. I had to change it.

So I am watching King Kong (1933) the last hour or so. I looked cast up on wiki and see Fay Wray would be 113 today (died in 2004 at 96). The ship captain - Frank Reicher - would be 145. The male lead - Robert Armstrong - fought in WW 1 - would be 130. These people were right off the silent era and yet they seem like they are kind of recent. Wray wasn't a beauty like Vivien Leigh, but she was a hot body for that era. Billy Crystal had an Academy Award bit with her.

2004 @ 96
