Living Dangerously
The Adventures of Merian C. Cooper, Creator of King Kong

Explorer, war hero, filmmaker, and cinema pioneer Merian C. Cooperthe adventurer who created King Kongwas truly larger than life. Spellbound since boyhood by tales of lifethreatening adventure and exotic locales, Cooper plunged again and again into harrowing expeditions that took him to places not yet civilized by modern man. He was the first to team Fred Astaire with Ginger Rogers, arranged Katharine Hepburns screen test, collaborated with John Ford on Hollywoods greatest Westerns, and then changed the face of film forever with Cinerama. Living Dangerously is a stunning tribute to this unique man and his amazing time.
