King Kong: Monster and Myth

Directed by Laurent Herbiet

With Elsa Lepoivre, Ernest B. Schoedsack, Merian C. Cooper, Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia and Marguerite Harrison

In 1933, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, two audacious and visionary directors, dared to create a motion picture that eclipsed everything seen until then: when King Kong was released, it was celebrated as an artistic and technical revolution and became the first myth created by the young cinematic art.
