Vintage borderless black-and-white double single reference still photograph from the 1976 film. Fifth in the "Kong" series of films, and the second to be titled simply "King Kong." Fred Wilson (Grodin), an oil magnate from Petrox Oil, is looking for new petroleum deposits on a recently discovered Pacific island. Jack Prescott (Bridges) is a paleontologist, stowing away on Wilson's ship, who warns that they are headed for "Skull Island," where prehistoric monsters still live and roam free. Also along for the ride is Dwan (Lange), shipwrecked in the ocean after the sinking of a yacht. The group lands on the island and a giant ape, Kong, becomes fascinated by Dwan. The ape kidnaps her but Prescott comes to her aid. Wilson locks Kong in the cargo hold of his ship and transports him to New York City. Once there, Kong manages to escape and wreak havoc upon the city, before being compelled to climb up the World Trade Center for sanctuary. Set in New York, shot on location in California and Hawaii. Winner of a Special Achievement Academy Award, and a Special Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films. Basis for the sequel and box-office mishap, "King Kong Lives," starring Linda Hamilton. 7.75 x 10 inches. Near Fine, with brief ink annotations on the verso. Lentz, 9. 1251. Muir US.

Softcover. Etat : Near Fine. An important archive of four significantly different scripts for the landmark and iconic 1933 film *King Kong*, tracing the evolution of the screenplay from conception to execution. Included is the First Draft by mystery writer Edgar Wallace entitled *The Beast*, dated January 5, 1932, completed shortly before his unexpected death; two further drafts by veteran screenwriter James Ashmore Creelman, *The Eighth Wonder* and *Kong*, dated March 9, and June 16, 1932; and a fourth undated, preproduction script detailing the camera setups for the entire film. Each of the scripts come from the archive of Nan Cochrane, head of the RKO Story Department. Additionally included is the three-part script for *Creation*, an aborted RKO fantasy film whose groundbreaking stop-motion special effects and story directly influenced *King Kong*. Together this is an unparalleled group of scripts tracking the development of one of the most notable and iconic film of all time, and likely not to be duplicated.
