Schoedsack Indonesia Sumatra jungle adventure pseudo-documentary ("Real Tigers roaring their death threat! Real Apes screaming their fear! Real Humans fighting to live!"; "You'll laugh at the Charlie Chaplin of the jungle"; "The Wonder Picture of 1931"; "The Motion picture sensation of 1931"; "The most blase man and woman in the world will acknowledge 'Rango' as the Wonder Picture of 1931"; "Truth is stranger than fiction - and in 'Rango' it's much more thrilling!"; about a white father telling his son about Sumatran natives who try to capture a tiger, and their adventures with orangutans, who the man says is man's closest relative!) starring Claude King, Douglas Scott, Ali, and Bin (Ali and Bin were the native father and son within the story who were not credited on any of the posters). Note that director Ernest Schoedsack worked in movies in several capacities starting before World War I. He served in the war, and afterwards, he formed an association with Merian C. Cooper that would prove long lasting! They made the classic documentaries "Grass" and "Chang" together, and Schoedsack independently directed this movie, but then signed with RKO and worked as co-director and cinematographer with Cooper on King Kong, Son of Kong, and The Most Dangerous Game! Schoedsack was larger than life (including literally, as he was 6'6"!) and he was an adventurer who loved making jungle movies. His wife was screenwriter Ruth Rose, who wrote the screenplay for King Kong and other classic movies, and their marriage lasted 50 years until her passing in 1978 at the age of 82, and he passed away the follow year at the age of 86.
