|
The story is more condensed at 100 minutes. |
The remake with a longer running time explores older plotlines, develops new ones and adds new characters. |
|
Carl Denham seems to have no trouble getting his movie financed. |
He flees the studio in fear of getting shut down and he flees New York on the Venture before the authorities can catch up with him.
|
|
Jack Driscoll is the first mate on the SS Venture and keeps a rather sexist attitude towards Ann before falling for her. |
Driscoll is a successful playwright whom Ann is already infatuated with. Denham has to trick him in order to go on the boat trip with them when he hands him half a script. |
|
Denham notices Ann's beauty after defending her from trying to steal an apple from a stand. |
It's right before he sees her outside of a women's club.
|
|
Ann accepts Denham's offer for a leading lady reluctantly but quickly. |
She only agrees upon hearing that Jack Driscoll is writing the screenplay. |
