Round 2: Tossup 8

This structure is the subject of an “anti-film” that uses the same techniques as its creator’s earlier film Sleep. Eight hours and five minutes (15[1])of footage of this (15[2])structure (15[1])comprises a 1964 film (-5[1])by Andy Warhol. Merian C. Cooper (-5[1])directed an RKO Pictures film in which Fay Wray plays a character stuck in this building named (*) Ann Darrow. A 1933 film that pioneered several special effects techniques ended with sequences using stop-motion to depict airplanes flying around this building. Carl Denham claims that “Beauty killed the Beast” after a massive creature falls to his death from this building. For 10 points, name this real-life 102-story skyscraper climbed by King Kong.
