Fay Wray's character gets kidnapped by natives, offered as a human sacrifice, attacked by a Tyrannosaurus Rex and carried to the top of the Empire State Building by a giant primate - all without getting a hair out of place. This all happens when an expedition captures a 30 ft ape on a remote island and brings him to New York as the eighth wonder of the world.
Fay Wray played Ann in the original 1933 version of this film. There have been a few re-makes, but in my opinion, the original is still the best version.
