The third in a trio of films by Merian Cooper, Ernest Schoedsack and Willis O’Brien’s featuring giant apes, “Much Joe Young” has a heart of gold. He’s a gargantuan ape with a soft location for Jill Young (Terry Moore) that raised him. Promoter and nightclub owner Max O’Hara (Robert Armstrong from “King Kong”) and Gregg a cowboy from Texas (Ben Johnson) attack the 18 foot vast Gorilla when they first encounter him in the wilds of Africa. When they recognize he can be great and that he’s only protecting his turf, O’Hara sees Young as the lynchpin for his recent nightclub. O’Hara convinces Jill to occupy Joe to Unusual York for his nightclub based around an African theme.

Featuring pretty effects that echo “Kong”, “Young” may not have the extraordinary eye of the previous film but the glowing mix of animation and live action done by Ray Harryhausen under O’Brien’s direction looks magnificent impressive even today. While the epic might be a slight tiring, initially for unique audiences, it has a fantastic pay off and an ending that beats the remake by a mile.
Warner has done a terrific job of transfering “Joe” to DVD. The grain isn’t quite as awful as “Kong” (the source material was, no doubt, in better shape) and Warner has restored the color to the fire sequence bringing the film cessation to its fresh glory. The commentary track features legendary animator Ray Harryhausen (who did noteworthy of the hands on animation), actress Terry Moore and visual effects Ken Ralston discussing the making of the film. There are also a duo of gargantuan extras. The Chiodo Brothers animators currently working in the industry interview Harryhausen about the effects work on the film. “Ray Harryhausen and Worthy Joe Young” takes a look help to Harryhausen’s work on this pivotal film with O’Brien (and the only film to earn O’Brien and his crew an Oscar for visual effects) . We also ge the new theatrical trailer as an added bonus.

A classic finally gets the restoration and loving care it deserves.
I’ve seen the movie 100 times. Yet watching it while listening to the commentary track was a note recent experience! Who knew half the keen trivia associated with this gem! The other 2 bonus interviews with Ray are the things dreams are made of! Not only a spruce value for the money but so above and beyond my expectations its not comic. Did I mention I liked it?
