AdamHOST
He's played everything else.
AdamHOST
A Game of Death is a remake of Richard Connell's most famous horror thriller, The Most Dangerous Game, which had been adapted once before in 1932 with Joel McRae and Fay Wray, a version that many see as the definitive version.
AdamHOST
In fact, the director of the 1945 version also saw the 32 job as definitive because he used some of it in this film.
AdamHOST
The story here follows big game hunter Don Rainsford, played by Loda, who is shipwrecked on the island of Eric Krieger, played by Edgar Barrier, a sinister nobleman who's also pretty big into hunting too.
The Old ManHOST
King Kong.
The Old ManHOST
King Kong with Fay Wray, the actress Fay Wray.
Shonda SinclairHOST
I guess I thought that was a big suit with somebody in it.
The Old ManHOST
It might be in some of it, but most of it is stop motion.
Patte RosebankHOST
And there was a bit of a fight, which Gloria Swanson talked about afterwards.
Patte RosebankHOST
Fay Wray's husband was a complete insert expletive here.
Patte RosebankHOST
And there was a fight and he actually punched out Herbert Marshall.
Patte RosebankHOST
And the shock was like, you attacked a disabled man, a handicapped man, and it was a real mess.
EricHOST
Well, whatever makes you happy, you know.

Whatever happened to Fay Wray? That delicate...
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Sat in draped frame As it clung to her thigh How I started to cry Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same
Richard O'BrienSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Give yourself over to absolute pleasure Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh Beyond any measure And sensual daydreams To treasure
EricHOST
I thought that was a nice little touch to the old classic
Brother JHOST
movies.
Brother JHOST
Well, especially because, you know, he says, you know, the line is, whatever happened to Fay Wray?
EricHOST
Exactly.
X7HOST
Now, Dr. X was a movie.
X7HOST
I believe Fay Wray was in that one, maybe.
X7HOST
I've never seen it.
X7HOST
It has nothing to do with building a creature, though.
BrentHOST
The train goes right into King Kong and she grabs.
BrentHOST
And I brought up, I asked you about the old movie because this, of course, is a callback to that movie where he had Fay Wray and had her in his hand as he climbed the Empire State Building.
BrentHOST
We ain't got no Empire State Buildings here, but King Kong will climb a building with her in his hand.
BrentHOST
And that's where your boy remembers because the husband is like fucking going crazy.
Tom NeenanGUEST
It's so good.
Tom NeenanGUEST
She's proper Fay Wray in this one.
Tom NeenanGUEST
She is the damsel in distress, but, like, because it's Tom and Sarah, she's never treated...
Tom NeenanGUEST
Like, the character's never treated like that.

Tonight in Knute Rockne All American, you will hear the true life drama of the beloved Notre Dame coach played by Pat O'Brien, who is starring in the same role in Warner Brothers' great screen success.
speaker_31ANNOUNCER
Pat's performance in the picture is earning the combined cheers of screen and football fans.
speaker_31ANNOUNCER
And with him tonight we have Ronald Reagan and Donald Crisp, also of the picture cast, and Fay Wray.
speaker_31ANNOUNCER
Knute Rockne was a good deal more than just a coach to his players, so there's a good deal more to his story than just football.
John KitleyHOST
Plus, the other thing that happened with the sound that I don't think gets enough attention is you could hear women screaming.
John KitleyHOST
I mean, Fay Wray became known as the first scream queen.
John KitleyHOST
That was affecting audience.
John KitleyHOST
You get to hear the terror in their voice, which then emphasized the impact of what was happening to her on screen.
Kyle WarrenHOST
Also, how about this one? Born in 1907.
Kyle WarrenHOST
She passed away in 2004, and that was Fay Wray.
Kyle WarrenHOST
And of course, uh, a storied actress, of course.
Kyle WarrenHOST
Uh, but of course, she was probably best known, uh, for her role, uh, in, uh, King Kong, in 1933, uh, version of King Kong, with the stop-motion photography and just an achievement.
Kyle WarrenHOST
Of course, King Kong is a, um, iconic story, uh, i-i-in, in, in, in so many ways.
Kyle WarrenHOST
And then, of course, later on, now this-- then you fast-forward a little bit from 1933 to 1976, then you have Dino De Laurentiis.
Kyle WarrenHOST
And Dino De Laurentiis comes along, and he says, "I'm going to make a King Kong movie with Jeff Bridges." Right? And, um, I'm trying to think of the name of the, uh, of the actress who played, uh, the, uh, the, the role that Fay Wray, uh, had played.
Kyle WarrenHOST
Uh, Jessica Lange, I think.
