Just saw SHE (1935) for the first time, as I had heard it mentioned a few times in life. Wow, this was a big production! Scariest avalanche I've ever seen. Nifty effects, premise and cool message.
One can see some cinematic similarities to King Kong. And I noticed other films have copied some scenes from She.
But I can see why She didn't stand the test of time. I think the characters are way too shallow, dialogue too clunky, there's not enough going on for that amount of time.
Hey FryeDwight, have you seen The Blue Bird (1940) with Shirley Temple? Definitely recommend.
