Summary: The definative behinds the scenes of an epic film.
Comment: Whether you are a fan of the original King Kong, or are just someone looking for insight into the making of classic adventure/fantasy films of the 1930's, this book is simply a must-have. Packed with information about the behind-the-scenes of this american icon, it covers everything from the amazing lives and films of the director/producers, information about the stars, and the general processes used (and often pioneered) in the making of this great movie. While slightly biased (against anything not of stop-motion animation) in its reviews of the film's 'spawn', such as Godzilla, Sinbad, Konga, etc, it does effectively explain so much of why and what 'King Kong' inspired. I waited years for this book to be made available, always looking for the definative book about the original 'Kong', and I am not dissapointed.

Summary: XLNT SOURCE BOOK!
Comment: This is a revised version of the Goldner/Turner book MAKING OF KING KONG. I've never owned a copy of the original to see where the revisions came in, but this edition suits my movie reference library quite well. The editorial blurb above is more than an accurate description of the contents.
If looking deeper into the Kong mythos is your bag, then this might be a great place to start. Probably the only thing missing would be a complete review of the presskits, poster selections, full interviews with the cast and even script as seperate chapters simply for completist sake. But needless to say, you do get that type of information mixed in throughout the book, be sure. This is a labor of love and it shows. It's more of a history lesson mostly in the form of text, rather than a full-on filmbook like MagicImage puts out. But it's close, and it's still quite exhaustive and loaded with rare stills & artwork, that this is truly a must-have reference piece to own. This is one of my favorite films so finding a good reference book was at the top of the list, and this is darn near perfect. The price is kinda steep, but I'm glad I took the dive!
