I Was a Male War Bride
(Howard Hawks, 1949)
A late flowering of the screwball comedy genre, featuring a sparkling combination of Cary Grant and Ann Sheridan. In postwar occupied Germany, he's a suave French officer, she's a bright-as-military-brass US lieutenant, and it requires hilarious tactics - such as Grant in drag - and a barrage of jokes before the pair can unite their forces.
King Kong
(Merian C Cooper, Ernest B Schroedsack, 1933)
Go to Skull Island. Face down the "natives". Survive the ordeal, if you can. And pray for decency's sake that that Kong guy leaves a few clothes on Anne Darrow. This is what innocent sensation was meant to be. Beauty and the Beast with an update - and the most frightening monster is the film producer.
