Fay Wray, 9th Wonder of the World!


Buy a copy of this poster HERE

Whether the new Peter Jackson version of King Kong turns out to be good or bad really does not matter because we’ll always have the original 1933 version to enjoy. But, largely thanks to the upcoming movie, the original has been cleaned up and released today in several formats, one of which is a boxed set that includes the sequel “Son of Kong”, and Willis O’Brien’s other giant ape movie, “Mighty Joe Young”.

You don’t need to see another ‘Kong’ poster here (although I will be featuring a bunch in the coming weeks), so instead I’ll post one of my favourite film posters, this one featuring Kong’s leading lady, Fay Wray, in one of several movies she made in 1934.
