Vintage reference photograph from the set of the 1933 film. A rare glimpse behind the scenes of a film that was a triumph of design, practical effects, and cinematography. The crew and the natives of Skull Island prepare for one of the film's most memorable scenes: Ann Darrow (Fay Wray) being brought to the altar of Kong, while Cooper, cinematographers and crew capture the shot on rolling mounts and platforms in the foreground. A few year later the "great wall" in this image, a truly cost-effective prop, would come crashing down in flames during the burning of Atlanta in "Gone with the Wind." Set on Skull Island and in New York City. 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine. National Film Registry. Ebert II. Godard, Histoire(s) du cinema. McPadden, Heavy Metal Movies.
