Ebbie --> One of the stories was one called 'The Most Dangerous Game'. [snip] story of a man who was shipwrecked onto an island guarded by vicious dogs. There his host is a man who, has a game wherein a victim is given X number of hours head start and informed that at a certain time the dogs and the host with his high-powered rifle will come after him.


I saw the movie made on this. (Don't remmember the bit about the dogs) One of friends was crazy about it because of one of the actors and/or the director. I think it was a 1930's vintage B&W movie. The point of the story is that the huntee is a world famous hunter who previously felt no mercy for his prey. I believe that the original book was a big seller in its day, some many years before.
