The original thriller, some critics have written, was a fun escape for me. The thrills are still there even after 85 years, though certainly not to the same extent as in the 1930s. I can imagine that this film, back then, would have been miraculous and even terrifying. Certainly awe-inspiring on a big screen. The brutal and violent moments surprised me--even made me gasp. And the Empire state building ending scene is still one of the best in film.
