Make no mistake readers, this is the very first commentary ever recorded in the history of commentaries. Here are some of the first words ever spoken:

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm Ronald Haver, and I'm here to do something which we feel is rather unique. I'm going to take you on a lecture tour of King Kong as you watch the film. The laserdisc technology offers us this opportunity and we feel it's rather unique - the ability to switch back and forth between the soundtrack and this lecture track..."

If you're a fan of King Kong, then this commentary is a must. I was very fortunate to obtain this Laserdisc before I sold my machine. I've listened to it on several occasions and gets better with each viewing.

This scene specific commentary is by the late film historian Ronald Haver. Ron covers every aspect of the film's production, covering the cast, production design, script and special effects. It is well paced and highly informative.
