The Most Dangerous Game (1932)

For some reason, this film is not as compelling as it needs to be, or perhaps it simply has not completely withstood the test of time. There is some nice photography and it is fun to see a pre-Kong Fay Wray practically auditioning for that famous role to soon follow, but ultimately this comes off as mostly standard fare. Maybe the short story is better (did I read it in high school?), but I think more could have been done with the adaptation. There's certainly enough story for a feature--why only an hour long, fellows?
