In 1927, electronics company Radio Corporation of America (RCA), led by David Sarnoff, began to acquire stock in Joseph P. Kennedy’s studio, Film Booking Offices of America (FBO). Over the next year, Sarnoff and Kennedy enacted a series of mergers involving FBO and theater chain Keith-Albee-Orpheum that ultimately formed Radio-Keith-Orpheum, or RKO Radio Pictures. In the studio’s indelible 1933 picture King Kong—an essential pre-Code creature feature—the innovative audio work of Murray Spivack and Earl A. Wolcott amplifies the thrills and drama. Fay Wray’s scream and Kong’s roar cannot be unheard!
