Mighty Joe Young (Full Frame)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Lightning struck again when the team behind "King Kong" reunited to create another towering ape: Mr. Joseph Young. This time the simian is shorter and the jokes tongue-in-cheekier, but the Oscar winning Best Special Effects are just as Kong-sized. A slick nightclub owner ("King Kong" veteran Robert Armstrong) discovers the giant ape frolicking in Africa as the beloved pet of a young girl (Terry Moore). He brings both to Hollywood as a floor-show sensation, until some no-goods ply Joe with booze and the blitzed behemoth goes bonkers. Highlights such as Armstrong's henchmen trying to lasso Joe cowpoke style, Joe playing tug-of-war with musclemen and plenty of Joe-to-the-rescue action make "Mighty Joe Young" mighty fine entertainment.
