It is 1933, and vaudeville actress
Ann Darrow has found herself like so many other
New Yorkers during the Great Depression without
the means to earn a living. Unwilling to compromise
and allow herself to sink into a career in burlesque,
she considers her limited options while aimlessly
wandering the streets of Manhattan. When her hunger
drives her to unsuccessfully try to steal an apple
from a fruit vendor's stall, she is rescued literally
by filmmaker and multiple hyphenate Carl Denham.
It seems that the entrepreneur raconteur-adventurer
is no stranger to theft, having that day lifted
the only existing print of his most recent and unfinished
film from under his studio executives' noses when
they threatened to pull his completion funds. Carl
has until the end of the day to get his crew onboard
the Singapore bound tramp steamer, the S.S. Venture,
in hopes of completing his travelogue/action film.
With that, the showman is certain he will finally
achieve the personal greatness he knows awaits him
around the corner and although the crew believe
that corner to be Singapore, Denham actually hopes
to find and capture on film the mysterious place
of legend: Skull Island. Unfortunately for Carl,
his headlining actress has pulled out of his project,
but his search for a size four leading lady (the
costumes have all been made) has, fatefully,
led him to Ann.
The struggling actress is reluctant to sign on with
Denham, until she learns that the up and coming,
socially relevant playwright Jack Driscoll is penning
the screenplay the fees his friend Carl pays for
potboiling adventure are a welcome supplement to
Driscoll's nominal income from his stage plays.
With his newly discovered star and coerced screenwriter
reluctantly onboard, Denham's "moving
picture ship" heads out of New York
Harbor and toward a destiny that none aboard could
possibly foresee. |
