The Most Dangerous Game

After a shipwreck, big game hunter Bob Rainsford (Joel McCrea), finds himself to be the sole survivor on an island called Baranka, but he is not alone. The hunter becomes the hunted as a bored and crazed Count Zaroff (Leslie Banks), forces him to become the prey. The prize is Eve Trowbridge (Fay Wray), who was on the island because of similar circumstances. The Most Dangerous Game is currently playing on tubitv

If some of the scenery looks familiar, it’s because its the same set as used in the film King Kong.




The old charts call it Ship-Trap Island
