King Kong’s 75th Anniversary
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Action, Adventure, Classics, Drama, Period, Home Entertainment
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the original King Kong, three television networks will be teaming up to honor the classic film.
On April 7th, Turner Classic Movies will broadcast the 1933 movie starring screen legend Fay Wray as Ann Darrow. This black-and-white RKO production, which debuted during the height of the Depression era, earned more than $1.7 million during its run.
Four days later, TNT, TBS and TCM will simulcast an airing of the 2005 version with Naomi Watts in the lead role. Although a remake featuring Jessica Lange hit theaters in 1976, Peter Jackson‘s update is considered truer to the original.
Immediately after April 7’s showing, Turner Classic Movies will air four other films hitting their diamond anniversaries: Dinner at Eight, Little Women, 42nd Street and Queen Christina.
