"The Most Dangerous Game:" Fay Wray, a very young Joel McCrea,

and Leslie Banks are the principals in this suspenseful film which Wray made simultaneously with "King Kong."
A mysterious nobleman who lives to hunt entertains shipwrecked guests upon his private island but they disappear after being shown what lies behind a mysterious door leading to his trophies.
A contrived plot, yes, but it is suspenseful and really is worthwhile for the absolutely menacing, unforgettable, and convincing character of Count Zaroff, played by English and American theater star Banks.
Wray is alluring and seductive and her gown appears as though it were glued to her.
McCrea has that "aw, shucks" quality which endears him to some and makes him seem an insufferable milquetoast to others.
Max Steiner is responsible for the score and it often is acknowledged as a major influence on the return of music: after talkies began (this film was released in '32), it was felt the spoken word obviated the use of music.
Special note: the recent "Zodiac" film mentioned the killer's using of dialogue from this film.
