Whereas King Kong was all about scaring the daylights of its audience and sending them on a thrill-a-minute adventure story, Mighty Joe Young plays like a children’s film, a perfectly fine rainy weekend c... read more

Jill Young (Terry Moore) has raised Joe, her gentle pet gorilla, since he was a baby. When a Hollywood, Calif., nightclub owner (Robert Armstrong) travels to Africa and notices the amazing animal, he persuades Jill to send Joe to Hollywood. But Joe grows restless performing for crowds and finally breaks free from captivity, wreaking havoc on the city. To save Joe from the authorities, who want him dead, Jill must create an elaborate plan to send him back to Africa.
