Summary: "Man has come a long way from his earliest predecessor, the Ape, yet his dreams are still haunted by nightmares of giant gorillas plundering, smashing and destroying. Through two hundred stills, full colour poster reproductions, line drawings, and an intensely researched text, this fascinating volume studies the mass cinema ape-fantasies from pre-history to the amazingly successful "Planet of the Apes" series. It delves deeply into the most famous ape of all- King Kong- and into the split between his nature and man's. What exactly did King Kong represent? Was he a brute or a lover? Was King Kong the personification of destruction and lust, or was he man's hopeless pursuit of the woman in white? By studying such movies as King Kong, Beauty and the Beast, Blonde Venus, The Return of the Ape Man, Circus of Horrors, Gorilla at Large, Morgan and many others, this exciting cinematic history illuminates that dark place where the beast still snarls in man."- BOOK JACKET

Summary: This volume covers the vibrant and turbulent period from 1973 to 1978, in which the issues of theory, history and politics dominated critical debate. The anthology combines essays by critics such as Pascal Bonitzer, Serge Daney and Therese Giraud; round-table discussions; reviews of contemporary films from Star Wars and King Kong to Padre Padrone and Jeanne Dielman; and interviews with leading theorists including Marc Ferro and Michel Foucault, presenting a rich sampler of Cahiers' provocative and indispensible contribution to debates in film and cultural politics.

Summary: "In this book Carlos Clarens, author of Crime Movies (also available from Da Capo Press), George Cukor, and many articles in film magazines, brings his encyclopedic knowledge of films and filmmakers to the subject of horror and science-fiction films of the classic era. Whether discussing the erotic aspects of King Kong, examining the works of Val Lewton, contrasting the director's attitude toward the monster in Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein, accounting for the special genius of Lon Chaney, or comparing the various versions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Clarens entertains as he enlightens. Supplemented with a new introduction by J. Hoberman, Village Voice film critic and coauthor of Midnight Movies (also available from Da Capo Press), and an extensive filmography listing complete credits for over 300 films, this fascinating study illuminates both the genre and the reasons for its popularity." -- taken from back cover

Summary: Kiss of the Beast: From Paris Salon to King Kong explores images of gorillas, wild beasts and monsters in art, film, science, literature and popular culture from the late nineteenth century to today. It examens humanity's highly charged relationship with primates and draws connections between debates about evolution, race, aesthetics and sex - from satirical cartoons of gorillas in Punch! to HR Hopp's famous World War One recruiting poster Destroy this mad brute: enlist, which shows Kaiser Wilhelm as a large ape. Many incarnations of the Beauty and the Beast tale in art and film unfold in Kiss of the Beast - from French artist Emmanuel Fremiet's sculptures of a gorilla carrying off a woman of 1859 and 1887, to the classic 1933 image o Fay Wray in the grip of King Kong. Early short films and animations; groundbreaking expeditionary documentaries; iconic 'monster' movies from 130s to 1950s Hollywood; and some of the many versions of the Kong story from America, Japan and Hong Kong are also featured. Kiss of the Beast: From Paris Salon to King Kong is richly illustrated with film stills from many famous big ape and monster movies - including King Kong, Frankenstein and Creature from the Black Lagoon - as well as posters, sculptures, painting, prints and rare books. This book was published in conjunction with 'Kiss of the Beast', an integrated exhibition and film program presented by the Australian Cinematheque, Queensland Art Gallery.

He comments on various aspects of "King Kong," including picturing the radio age in the film, the use of skyscrapers in the film and possible allusions of "King Kong" to Huey Long. --abstract provided by publisher
