The Finest Specimen I Ever Killed
A yacht smashes into coral reefs—thanks to suspiciously misplaced channel lights—leaving hunter Robert Rainsford (Joel McCrea) stranded on an island owned by Count Zaroff (Leslie Banks), a Cossack aristocrat with a very niche hobby: human hunting.
Zaroff’s island isn’t a tropical getaway—it’s a twisted playground. His “guests” (shipwreck survivors) get a knife, a head start, and a 24-hour game of cat-and-mouse. This world’s divided into two kinds of people—the hunter and the hunted.” Guess which one survives?
Alternative title: The Hounds of Zaroff (1932)
