King Kong (1976) (Retro Film) (Blu-ray)

LONG LIVE THE KING

THE GREATEST KING KONG FILM DIGITALLY RESTORED IN 4K

HOLLYWOOD'S MOST EXPENSIVE FILM! This was the fact that was trumpeted when the colossal remake of KING KONG from 1933 was released to the world. The success was huge! In the US, the film was the second most popular film of 1976 (only beaten by Rocky), and in Sweden it was seen by 460,000 cinema-goers. Neither Peter Jackson's 2005 remake nor the subsequent CGI gimmicks have come close to matching this success. The 1976 version reigns supreme because it not only makes us experience fear and excitement, but also makes us feel warm, strong emotions for the giant ape. Despite his origins, he is the most human character in the drama!
