Barbie Starring in King Kong Doll 2002 Mattel 56737

After six decades, King Kong remains a landmark Hollywood adventure movie. Still captivating new audiences, this unforgettable twist on a classic fairy tale tells of impossible, unrequited love.

The movie King Kong recounts the story of director Carl Denham who plans to shoot an adventure film with his leading lady, Ann Darrow. The expedition sets sail and comes upon the primeval Skull Island where the natives worship a giant ape named King Kong. During a ritual, Kong kidnaps Ann, then grows to love her. First mate Jack Driscoll quickly forms a rescue party and they rush to save the starlet. Suddenly, Denham realizes a great opportunity. With the help of his crew, he subdues the beast and brings him to civilization. Back in in New York, he produces an extravagant stage show, displaying the monstrous ape as the Eighth Wonder of the World. Kong breaks free of his chains and rampages the city," destroying everything in his path. Grabbing his beloved from an apartment window, he scales the Empire State Building. Reaching the spire, he places Ann tenderly on a ledge. In the film's most memorable scene, biplanes shoot Kong, who plunges to the streets below. Watching the horrific events, Denham delivers the famed line, "It was beauty killed the beast."
