A friend of mine once said to me, who taught film classes, he said, when I talk to my young students about the Great Depression, I show them the opening five minutes of King Kong.
Stephen BissetteGUEST
And he's right, because right up to the point where Ann Darrow steals an apple and gets caught by the vendor and Carl Denham pays the vendor, it really communicates in a really concise manner the feeling, the reality, the grim reality of 1930s New York.
Stephen BissetteGUEST
And that's the springboard for the adventure.
