UNCUT | The Most Dangerous Game (1932) Movie Reaction [Trivia Yet To Be Edited]
Added 2024-08-03 22:27:37 +0000 UTCIt's HERE! I'm back with the film reactions, albeit slower than normal. Today we're back with "The Most Dangerous Game" (1932), which stars Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong from King Kong.
This was a great film, with fantastic moments of emotion from Fay Wray again and really enjoyable. What do you think to this?
If you didn't know was filmed at the same time as King Kong (1933) - Although, yes this was released before it. Most proabably because of the extensive model and effects work done on King Kong.
Also, speaking of King Kong, I'll also be watching "Son Of Kong" soon too, seeing as that's another shorter film. It's helping watching shorter ones at the moment, so thank you all for recommending them to me. That and the film "Freaks" too.
Anyway! I hope you'll enjoy my reaction to this. I'll be back with another UNCUT in a few days and I'm currently working on the trivia to "Time Bandits" (still, I know, it's taken a while).
Take care everyone! and thank you for watching!

I came across this movie about a year and a half ago didn’t even know it existed and I remember watching and thinking there’s something about it that just seems familiar. It didn’t occur to me at the time about the king Kong angle, when I saw the King Kong reaction, I instantly knew the connection. I also recognize the actor playing the madman Leslie Banks. I remember him from a movie called "Cottage to Let" a very old good movie that had Alistair Sim in it.

It's been many years since I've seen this film and my impression is that even though the story is very simple and predictable... mainly because it's been spoofed so many times since this was made, it's the execution which makes it stand up above many other films of this era. The same talent that made the great King Kong is very apparent here, with use of miniatures, matte paintings, and many other compositing tricks. We have a score by Max Steiner which is almost as good as the Kong score, and excellent creative cinematography. Robert Armstrong's character is pretty obnoxious but we feel bad about his death mainly because of Fay Wray's reactions. I really like her in this, her performance is more nuanced here than her Ann Darrow. It truly is impossible to watch this, though, without thinking of Kong because so much is similar or recycled (like the screams of the men and Fay's). One thing I really love about these pre-code films is they do have an edgy, fearless feel to them that was rarely there during the Hayes code era. Great reaction, and other than a cough or two I wouldn't have been able to tell that you were recuperating from Covid if you hadn't mentioned it.
