AARRGGHH RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! Based on 'The Hounds of Zaroff', the short story by Richard Connell, this great movie starred Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong,the two main (human) leads from King Kong.Also featured are Joel McCrea as 'the famous hunter' Robert Rainsford, and Leslie Banks as the evil Count Zaroff, who finds people better sport than tigers,pigs,bears etc. This film was banned in Britain at the time, the sight of Zaroff's trophy room (human heads on the walls!) causing the censor to faint! A wonderful story that was the inspiration for so many to follow, including Predator,The Running Man and Punishment Park. I'm glad Zaroff doesn't shoot ELEPHANTS! More Sneaky Elephant movie alerts soon!
