King Kong Versus Godzilla - "The Most Colossal Conflict the Screen Has Ever Known"
0 - Default Title
Description
When King Kong and Godzilla were originally introduced to theater-going audiences, many critics foresaw their mass appeal. Screenplay called the film King Kong "Breath-taking, fascinating!" and said, "Words are inadequate to express the thrills and unusual entertainment values of this absorbing product of directorial and imaginative genius" in 1933. And in what could be best described as a moment of clairvoyance, Leslie Dard of San Mateo, California newspaper The Times wrote about Godzilla's introduction to American audiences in 1956, "With Tokyo a wreck it's fairly obvious that Godzilla is destined for bigger things-destroying the world for example."
Although King Kong and Godzilla were introduced to audiences two decades apart, on two separate continents, by two different movie studios, perhaps it was inevitable that King Kong and Godzilla would be forever intertwined in their respective histories, eventually brought together, and grappled in most colossal conflict the screen has ever known-King Kong vs. Godzilla.
Also included is a foreword by writer/producer/comedian/podcaster Dana Gould and an interview by the author with Toho's King Kong Escapes (1967) star Linda Miller, who gives insight into the creative vision of Ishir¿ Honda and Toho Studios.
