The Most Dangerous Game - 1932 - 6/10
Despite a few liberties with the source (Richard Connell’s story), this remains one of the finest adaptations.
Enroute to a big game junket, sportsman Railsford washes up ashore on a deserted island.
Cossack nobleman Zaroff lives there with huge manservant Ivan and a pack of hounds.
Along with temporary visitors who arrive there from time to time.
Soon, Railsford realizes that, while Zaroff is likewise a hunter, he prefers highly intelligent quarry.
Remade dozens of times, this benefits using sets from King Kong, and Leslie Banks’ fierce performance.
