This is the absolute best if your looking for a documentary of all the apes of filmland! It's all here... King Kong, Son of Kong, Mighty Joe Young, and more. TONS of info on the life of Willis O'Brien, Ray Harryhousan, and of course the veteren himself Bob Burns (who hosts the show). They start of at the dawn of cinema in the 1920's, and thats were they show scenes of the monkey comedies of Buster Keaton, and the wild ape man that tormented the group in the original "Lost World" (1925). Willis O'Brien is now introduced and they show 2 of his 20's stop motion shorts... yes, the entire thing. Then they talk about the failed O'Brien film "Creation" (1931), which they show lost footage from. Moving on a few years to my absolute favorite film "King Kong" (1933), in which they show the original trailer, production stills, and rare behind the scenes footage never seen before. Shown also is tons of Kong merchandise released in the 60's such as the "Ideal Co." "King Kong Game", "Aurora's" Kong models, and professinal stop-motion color test footage that was planned to be used in the failed 1960's remake. The same goes for "Son of Kong" (1933) and the original "Mighty Joe Young" (1949). All in all a great 2 tape set that just talks about the classic apes of Hollywood. The only bad thing about this tape is that it's in SLP and the sound quality is not that great. Everything else is teriffic!
