When I saw this movie earlier this month it got the distinction of being the oldest I have ever seen, beating, by one year, the original King Kong (which had held that distinction for me since the mid 1970s). And speaking of King Kong, this is also the only movie other than that one that I have ever seen Fay Wray in.

You mean you haven't seen "Frankenstein" or "Dracula", both from 1931? If not, then you really should. And if you like Fay Wray, then you should also see her early Technicolor films "Doctor X" (1932) and "Mystery of the Wax Museum" (1933).

I had heard of the 1931 movies Dracula and Frankenstein and been aware of them since the late 1970s, but no, I had actually never seen either one. I really don't know why because I've been a big movie buff since the early 1980s. But Gone With the Wind is probably the most famous movie of all time and I had never seen it either, until July, 1998 when it was briefly rereleased and I went to a theater to see it. And I have still never seen Stagecoach, the most famous western and the movie that made John Wayne a star. But after you sent me this reply I decided I would see Dracula and Frankenstein if I could, so I went on Netflix to put them on my list, and was a little surprised that they were both on there and had no wait. I then received both in the mail on Thursday (July 3), and watched Dracula on Thursday night and Frankenstein last night. They were both okay, though I would not want to see either a second time. But I was glad I got to see them, and they are now the oldest movies I have ever seen. And I might watch the Fay Wray movies you mentioned if Netflix has them, though my list on there is somewhat full for the next month.
