Fay Wray brought a spirited, resilient presence to Hollywood across the silent and sound eras and became legendary as the object of a giant ape’s affection. King Kong is that film. The Bowery pits two rival saloon owners in old New York, Dirigible sets naval aviators against each other on a polar airship, and Thunderbolt has a jailed gangster scheming to stop his ex marrying a bank clerk. The Four Feathers and The Wedding March round out the list.
01 Fay Wray is in this tale of two rival saloon owners in old New York fighting over status, women and turf.
