People hunting people for sport--an idea both shocking and fascinating. In 1924 Richard Connell published a short story that introduced this concept to the world, where it has remained ever since--as evidenced by the many big- and small-screen adaptations and inspirations. Since its publication, Connell's award-winning "e;The Most Dangerous Game"e; has been continuously anthologized and studied in classrooms throughout America. Raising questions about the nature of violence and cruelty, and the ethics of hunting for sport, the thrilling story spawned a new cinematic subgenre, beginning with RKO's 1932 production of The Most Dangerous Game, and continuing right up to today. This book examines in-depth all the cinematic adaptations of the iconic short story. Each film chapter has a synopsis, a "e;How Dangerous Is It?"e; critique, an overall analysis, a production history, and credits. Five additional chapters address direct to video, television, game shows, and almost "e;dangerous"e; productions. Photographs, extensive notes, bibliography and index are included.
