KING KONG (1933)

Dir. Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack, 1933.

Cast: Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, Bruce Cabot. 1 hr 44 min. NR

A film ahead of hits time, King Kong defied the technological limitations of the 1930s. Special effects pioneer Willis O'Brien's revolutionary stop-motion animation was not only technically brilliant but also highly imaginative. With equal parts adventure, horror and old-fashioned romance, King Kong is a milestone of moviemaking that has endured for more than seven decades.

Movie tickets are $7 per person. For tickets and more information, visit warnertheatre.org or call the Box Office at 860-489-7180.
