Features: DVD, Pan and Scan (TV Format), Aspect Ratio 1.33:1, Audio Commentary, Dolby Digital Mono, Featurette, Theatrical Trailer, English, French, Spanish Subtitled
A slick nightclub owner (King Kong veteran Robert Armstrong) discovers the giant ape frolicking in Africa as the beloved pet of a young girl (Terry Moore). He brings both to Hollywood as a floor-show sensation, until some no-goods ply Joe with booze and the blitzed behemoth goes bonkers. Highlights such as Armstrong's henchmen trying to lasso Joe cowpoke style, Joe playing tug-of-war with musclemen and plenty of Joe-to-the-rescue action make Mighty Joe Young mighty fine entertainment.
"Great escapist fun: a West Coast King Kong" James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
Editor's Note
The King Kong legend is kept alive by a little girl who brings back a pet gorilla from Africa. In true Kong tradition, it grows to an enormous size and later terrorizes the city.
Plot Summary
A huge, 12-foot gorilla is discovered by a group on safari in Africa and brought back to Hollywood to be the special attraction at a glitzy new night club.
