For the first hour, #KingKong (1976) is an competent 1970s thriller. #JeffBridges and #JessicaLange have chemistry. #CharlesGrodin's overconfident oil exec manages to be a bigger douche than Bridges' always-correcting Princeton paleontogist. Director #JohnGuillermin keeps tension building effectively as he did in #TheToweringInferno (1973) and #TheBlueMax (1966)

This episode is perfect! It delivers high-concept action and adventure, as well as a genuine powderkeg of emotion. Even the present-day b-story was good.
A major (and beautiful) story arc is seemingly concluded here, but we end on some big cliffhangers. The most intriguing one, by far, is the one taking place back in the 1970s…
10/10
Tonight in 1980 — THE TOWERING INFERNO (1974) made its network TV premiere on NBC.
