Important Added Info: Note that this art shows the infamous "spider-pit" scene! After the sailors are shaken off of a log by Kong, they fall into a ravine where spider-like creatures devour them. Supposedly, when the movie was previewed, members of the audience screamed and either left the theater or talked about the grisly sequence throughout the remainder of the film. Because of this, RKO removed the scene before the general release of the movie (but there is also evidence that it was just removed because of pacing issues). Though searched for, the footage is now considered "lost" with only a few artist sketches, notes and stills surviving. Also, note that this still was found in a photo archive together with other stills that were from the 1938 re-release of this classic movie, and we feel it is extremely likely that it is also from the 1938 re-release, although it is unmarked. Also note that this still has an image of artwork created specifically for this movie! Such stills are far more rare than stills which show scenes from the movie! Condition: good. There is a 2 1/2" tear in the lower right that has some tiny bits of surface paper loss, and there is tape on the back of that area. There is a tiny tear in the upper left blank border and a few tiny creases scattered throughout. Learn More about condition grades
