King Kong Classic Film

Description

The 1933 horror classic, “King Kong,” stars Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong and of course, the giant gorilla, a stop-action animated creation of Willis O’Brien. This film screens at the Soper Reese Theatre in Lakeport on Tuesday, October 11, at 1:00 and 6:00 pm. Iconic moments abound in this film, from the fight with the T. Rex to Fay Wray’s glorious screams and of course, the last scene on the Empire State Building. No opera diva has had a more elegant farewell. The monster movie by which all others are measured, this abiding take on Beauty and the Beast is scary, violent, tragic and always entertaining, even 83 years after its making. The movie is sponsored by Michael Lorenzini and Michael Adams. Not rated, B&W, with run time of 1 hour 44 minutes. Entry to the film is by donation. The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S.
