Based upon a famous short story by Richard Connell, it follows big game hunter, Bob Rainsford, (Joel McCrea), as he becomes quarry for another, the opulently deranged Count Zaroff, (floridly played by Leslie Banks). Utilizing some of the amazing sets made for \u003cem\u003eKing Kong\u003c\/em\u003e, the film is sometimes thought of as a place-holder to keep key cast and crew available during Kong’'s lengthy animation schedule. This included actors Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, Noble Johnson and Steve Clemento, as well as editor Archie Marshek, composer Max Steiner, sound effects expert Murray Spivak, illustrators Mario Larrinaga and Byron Crabbe, and optical effects wizards Vernon Walker and Linwood Dunn.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13px;\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"\u003eThe strong story and theme, excellent production values, vigorous action and fast pacing make \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Most Dangerous Game\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e an exciting and more than satisfying entertainment after eighty years.

Salisbury, a wealthy British adventurer, who in 1920 set sail in an 80-ton yacht equipped with a motion picture laboratory to, in his words, catch and hold for history a photo record of the fast–disappearing races of the South Seas Islands”. Cooper and Schoedsack were among the cameramen on this two-year expedition that documented genuine head-hunters and cannibals along its route. The material was originally released as four separate films in the silent era and was consolidated as the film\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Gow, The Headhunter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e for an illustrated lecture by expedition member William Peck.
