I know next to nothing about Fay Wray and have never seen King Kong. But I do remember several years back she put out her auto-biography that told her life story beyond her most famous role, and it had one of the cleverest book titles I ever saw - Fay Wray: On The Other Hand.

When the plumber at my college thought Joe E. Ross played the train engineer, he thought he heard him say something when he saw Kong. He thought he heard the engineer say Ooh! Ooh! but he didn't say anything. He didn't make a sound.

[Matthewsmollen4]

A plumber at my college mistaked somebody in this movie for Joe E. Ross from Car 54 Where are you?. He mistaked Joe E. Ross for the train engineer. The train engineer was played by someone named Joe but it wasn't Joe E. Ross. His name was Joe Smith Marba, and we don't see his name in the cast.

[Matthewsmollen4]

@Matthewsmollen4 Joe Smith Marba wasn't famous ever but he has been in other movies too.

@snakes3425 Yeah, that would be a nice find. One thing's for sure, the trailer didn't include scenes of Kong.Much of the production was kept under wraps until the actual premiere. However, the original 1933 radio promo DOES exist and is available on YouTube.

[kovik62]

Snakes3425: Did further research and found out this is definitely from 1942. Sorry!

[kovik62]

@snakes3425: This is actually the 1952 re-release trailer, apparently the only one that exists. According to sources, the 1933 trailer didn't include scenes from the movie in order to heighten curiosity and anticipation. It's been lost for years and it's unlikely to ever show up.

[snakes3425]

@kovik62

Still the original 1933 Trailer for King Kong would be a interesting find

[snakes3425]

This is the trailer for the 1938 re-release correct? I have to ask what became of the orginal trailer, the one for the 1933 premire

[kovik62]

@bobsvetics1: Can't argue with you there. I spliced this at the head of my original 16mm print of the film.

[TheSoulmate12]

kong looks kind of retarded in this version, so does the dinosaurs

[Battery206781]

@TheSoulmate12 well excuseme if they didn't have computers or Michael Bay in the 30's.

[ellbo2]

@TheSoulmate12 ITS 193FUCKING3!

[TheSoulmate12]

@ellbo2 guys chill... my earlier comment doesn't mean i don't think the movie looks cool, it's just, the characters look totally retarded... that's it :P

[LargeMonkFish]

0:50 he's climbing in your windows, snatching your people up!

[Oranges4Sale]

KONG! THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WOOOORRLDD!!!!!

[bobszvetics1]

THE GREATEST FILM IN HISTORY

[FunkyGranny9]

1:01. Yeah, my eyes are convinced that its stop motion.

[C3Z4rtv]

The AVATAR of the 1930's...

[Jimpan0096]

@C3Z4rtv just that avatar sucked -.-

[C3Z4rtv]

@Jimpan0096 True dat, sista!

[superwheel10]

@C3Z4rtv how is AVATAR anything like this?!?

[C3Z4rtv]

@superwheel10 The special effects are way beyond it's time for this movie.

[DukeFanGermany]

Masterpiece!

[BE4TNGU]

The animations are pretty bad.

[Jimpan0096]

I'm not ashamed of saying this is my favourite movie of all time :)

[funnyclips01]

At first Kong kinda creeped me out but in the 2005 remake he was better lookin

[pokerockmario123]

The graphics are so realistic!!! I love this movie!!!, ok serious now.. I love this movie it's so creative and the actors are so good. This was made without the technology we have today, it's great!

[Alb20century]

one hell of a movie, my grandpa tells me he remembers being so excited to go see it, and that for those days these were the best special effects...

[bf1973]

the trailer gives away the end!!

And it's a lot better than the remakes, it'a a timeless classic!!

[Cool2BCeltic]

It has the same relation to Peter Jackson's version as Gustav Dore's engraving of Newgate Prison Yard has to Vincent Van Gogh's painting, Prisoners Exercising. A black and white masterpiece used as the basis for a colour masterpiece.
