King Kong (1976) “A petroleum exploration expedition comes to an isolated island and encounters a colossal giant gorilla” – my #3 movie from 1976.

The action starts when Duke Foxx takes his girlfriend to a Flyers ice hockey game in Philadelphia.

But a few days later, he gets fired, catches his girlfriend in bed with another man, and totals his car trying to avoid hitting a deer.

To take his mind off his problems, he takes a trip to the island of St. Croix.

There, he meets his Caribbean Queen. But he also finds himself thrust in the midst of an unsolved murder – then uses super-sleuths skills to lead the police to the killer.
