Perhaps the greatest monster movie of all time, RKO’s King Kong by Marion C. Cooper has delighted, frightened, and fascinated audiences ever since its release first captured the publics imagination in 1933. It has inspired sequels, remakes, spoofs, and ranks #43 on the American Film Institute’s top 100 best films of all time “100 Years… 100 Movies” list. This oil painting, by master Spanish illustrator Sanjuilan, features the great anthropoid himself and the four principle stars of the film; Fay Wray as Ann Darrow, Robert Bruce Cabot as John Driscoll, Robert Armstrong as Carl Denham, and Frank Reicher as Captain Englehorn. It measures approximately 11 1/2 by 15 inches (the image itself or 14 by 17 1/2 inches including the full canvas). Please note- this is an actual, original oil painting by Sanjulian. It is not a copy, print or pre-printed image. It is a one-of-a-kind original.
