Synopsis
(Applause Books). He is one of the most amazing, popular, and iconic characters in the history of motion pictures. His 1933 debut was a legendary piece of pure cinema simultaneously a terrifying monster movie, epic fairy tale, tragic love story, and deeply resonant cultural myth. His name is King Kong. Ray Morton's King Kong The History of a Movie Icon is the first book to chronicle the making of all seven feature films in which the character of Kong has appeared, including the hotly anticipated Peter Jackson version. It is generously illustrated with photographs, production art, and promotional materials from the author's extensive private collection. Morton has interviewed the surviving members of each major film. A colorful overview of the tremendous amount of collectible Kong merchandise is also on view for all the fans of Kongdom to devour.

    I ordered three books, one has arrived here and a week later, the two have been stuck since 16-07, which is late, I haven't seen what gold they have inside, probably the shipping company's fault.

      Ray Morton's King Kong is worth it for Kong fans.

      Great book for fans of every incarnation of Kong. I thought I knew everything about the making of the original but Morton supplies facts and accedotes that I had never heard before. The chapters about the '76 Kong,the Japanese Kongs, and the unmade Kong projects was fascinating. Even the detailed chapter about the horrible "King Kong Lives" was fun to read. I don't entirely agree with Morton with all the respect he shows for the '76 Kong and I think the book could have benefitted by more photos and illustrations, but it's still worth getting.
