THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME
May 9, 2012  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Any youngsters who think The Hunger Games is this bold new idea in fiction and moviemaking – watch humans be hunted for sport – may enjoy being old-schooled by watching this movie, which is about a sociopathic big-game hunter who strands shipwreck victims on a deserted island, then hunts them down. Based on the classic short story by Richard Connell, it was filmed in 1932 – only eight years after its original publication. It stars Joel McCrea and, one year before starring in King Kong, Fay Wray.
