The Eight Wonder of Cinema is King Kong 1933

The 1933 film itself is not too special. For its time, there's a lot to laud. Comparing what Peter Jackson would do later, there's night and day. I do not mean the special effects, which are exceptional.

"Theme from A Summer Place" is a song with lyrics by Mack Discant and music by #MaxSteiner, written for the 1959 film #ASummerPlace, which starred #SandraDee and #TroyDonahue. It was recorded for the film as an instrumental theme by Steiner. Originally known as the "Molly and Johnny Theme", this lush extended cue, as orchestrated by #MurrayCutter, is not the #mainTitle theme of the film, but an oft-heard love #leitmotif for the characters played by Dee and Donahue.
