Thrilling Rescue Scene From "SON OF KONG" (Helen Mack, 1933) (video)




Before Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong) discovers Kong, Jr. on Skull Island...

...we discover the charming Hilda (Helen Mack) singing in a cheap sideshow act.

That night, her father is attacked and their tent set ablaze.

The rescue scene is a thrilling setpiece...

...highlighted by Max Steiner's musical score...

...and a brilliantly-staged lateral tracking shot.

Here, Helen Mack becomes one of fantasy cinema's most endearing heroines.


I neither own nor claim any rights to this material.  Just having some fun with it.  Thanks for watching!
