King of the
Kongo
(1929)
|
This feature film version of the late silent era serial King of the Kongo (1929) stars Jacqueline Logan and Walter Miller, with support from Richard Tucker, Boris Karloff and Larry Steers. Since no prints exist of the serial version, restoration efforts have focused on the surviving footage from the feature film abridgment version.
