"King Kong": Additional material


Ok, you will like this. Several years ago I discovered an unusual film clip of a so-called lost section from the 1933 King Kong. There was nothing contextual with the clip offering an explanation and the Internet revealed nothing. Shortly, the clip disappeared and has now made a come back with a full explanation. I must say that the scene looked convincing and I offer this as an amendment to an entry regarding the lost 35mm Mitchell camera that was used to photograph King Kong.

[Well, the clip and explanation has been removed. This is why I detest links.]
