Kongo (1932) Part 1 of 9

Degradation, depravity and revenge in the steamy jungle. Dead Legs Flint gets the surprise of his life in this hard to find, classic pre -Code Hollywood film. Occasionally shown on TCM, this movie is currently unavailable on DVD. As such, it is not included in TCM's Forbidden Hollywood set. "Kongo" is a prime example of pre-Code Hollywood talkies, including themes of rape, prostitution, forced drug and alcohol addiction, and general depravity. "Kongo" is based on the 1926 play "West of Zanzibar", and follows the similarly named1928 silent feature starring Lon Chaney. Directed by William Cowen Starring Walter Huston, Lupe Velez, Conrad Nagel and Virginia Bruce
