Kongo (1932)


Starring Walter Huston, Conrad Nagel, Lupe Venez, and Virginia Bruce; directed William Cowen

A remake of the 1928 horror classic, "West of Zanzibar," Kongo depicts a mad, wheel-chair bound American who rules over a small African fiefdom, waiting for the day he can avenge himself upon the man who stole his wife and crushed his spine.
