Monopoly players have cruised the streets of Atlantic City, N.J.--Baltic Avenue? I'll buy it!--since Charles Darrow created the board in 1935.

Kong turns his back on Darrow after saving her from a flock of dinosaurs, which inspres her to run after him is a stripped down and true account of the animalistic nature of desire...
