	Scifilm -- Reviews, MIGHTY JOE YOUNG (1949)
		Joe only becomes violent when he is attacked and tormented by the men and women of "civilization." So although Schoedsack, Cooper, and Co. did make another "giant ape in the city" movie, they turned the story on its head to give us a very interesting—and entertaining—commentary about mankind itself.
		A couple of notable examples are when the cowboys lasso Joe during the exciting first encounter with the gorilla (rather reminiscent of the cowboys roping the dinosaurs in THE VALLEY OF GWANGI), and when Joe trips a running horse.
		Joe's actions are a direct result of the situations he is put in, and the results of his actions are believable and natural.

		The people in need of salvation are his best friend Jill Young (Charlize Theron) and, in the nice-guy Ben Johnson part, an enthusiastic zoologist named Gregg (ever-good sport Bill Paxton, who reacts to the computer-effected ape much as he reacted to the computer-effected twister, widening his eyes as if in once-in-a-lifetime awe).
		A prelude shows that little Jill's and Joe's moms are killed by the same poachers: As the doctor lays dying, she makes Jill promise to protect Joe forever.

		When Mighty Joe Young first reached screens in 1949, nearly everyone recognized it as an attempt to re-create the magic and mystique of King Kong.
		Mighty Joe Young is like a low-rent King Kong with a little more emphasis on the humanity of the primate.

		A DECADE AGO, blues artist "Mighty" Joe Young was in a hospital recovering from surgery for a pinched nerve in his neck.
		It is distinguished by the barely reigned-in passion of Young's lead vocal, the heated blasts of brass and some clipped "dee-dee-oops" in the background that comment on the singer's plaints.
		It's unfortunate that Young plays guitar on only two tracks--"Starvation" and "Got My Mind on My Woman"--but the good news is that as a songwriter, singer and producer, the septuagenarian more than lives up to his nickname.

	Mighty Joe Young Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		Originally slated for release this past summer, "Mighty Joe Young" was marketed as yet another monster/disaster movie and, appropriately enough, the trailer emphasized the special effects and pyrotechnics.
		"Mighty Joe Young" follows essentially the same plot as its namesake from 1949 (which suffered audience ennui due to its numerous similarities to "King Kong"), in which a giant gorilla is taken out of the jungle and winds up creating havoc in a large city.
		In addition to Joe having difficulty adapting to his new surroundings, the head of the Conservatory (veteran character actor David Paymer) is eager to use Joe to raise funds and capture the media spotlight, a move that Jill vehemently protests.

		Joe and Jill were attacked by a vicious poacher who killed Jill's mother (Linda Purl).
		Joe is spectacular, he destroys a Mercedes by sitting on it, he climbs a Ferris wheel to save a young boy, he picks up O'Hara and drops him to the ground, he poses with Jill, cuddles with her and has more expression than some actors.
		The spectacle of Joe roaming down Hollywood Boulevard between cars and running free in Africa contain a beauty and power which is extraordinary to watch, it's almost inspiring.

		Joe gave his all in spite of sparse attendance that could hardly be called a crowd.
		Joe had some good horns and I was in the company of Frank Powers -- one of the few real masters of 20's jazz clarinet -- an artist capable of reminding you simultaneously of both Johnny Dodds and Pee Wee Russell (and present on the Dixie Stompers' Stock Yard Strut, #229).
		Joe finished a final album, Mighty Man, for the Blind Pig label, a monument to a man widely known for his jovial demeanor and his total professionalism.

		Of course, there is an accident that allows Joe to escape into downtown L.A. Then, everyone is out to kill Joe, except the few people who care about him.
		Joe does look very realistic, but it is still going to be hard to get viewers involved in the plot, and caring about Joe.
