Mighty Joe Young

Terry Thomas, Ben Johnson

Cornball follow-up to King Kong by the same Cooper/Shoedsack team. Essentially the same story. All soundstage - with one very good set. Good ape effects by Ray Harryhausen.

The film was crippled by the doofus-level material. I loved it as a child and should have left it as a fond memory. I did enjoy the re-make done in 1998.
