LANGE LOBBY CARD

Image
Here is a lobby card showing Jessica Lange as Dwan, hanging onto the King's hand and with a dirty face she faces her foe... Only in this version, more PC in the 1970's than the Monster Flick from 1933, she slowly kinda falls for the big hairy lug... There's a little hairy lug in the form of Jeff Bridges that really wins her heart... a sort of Bruce Cabott in hippie form... Although Bridge's photographer argues he's not a hippie to Charles Grodin... And either way, this is a great lobby card of the gorgeous Jessica Lange...

Jeff Bridges as John Prescott bribing aboard The new KING KONG begins with Jeff Bridges character, Jack Prescott, who is a freelance nature photographer feigning drunk, bribing his way onto the charter, an oil ship heading to a mysterious island surrounded by fog that could hold a lot of... oil. The uncredited Asian actor slightly resembles the "Chinese Cook" from the original 1933 classic and SONG OF KONG... Is it racist to point that out?
