The Most Dangerous Game (1932)
(The Hounds of Zaroff)
Country: US
Technical: bw 63m
Director: Ernest B. Schoedsack, Irving Pichel
Cast: Leslie Banks, Joel McCrea, Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong
Synopsis:
A ship and its crew drop anchor at the island of an eccentric Englishman, whose passion is hunting but who reserves for his infrequent guests the role of involuntary quarry.
Review:
A perennially entertaining movie, in location and in one or two of its set pieces a rehearsal for King Kong, though this detracts not at all from its qualities of structure, unity, humour, excitement and economy. There is even a message in there somewhere.
