Critic Review:

• " [Fay] Wray has never been more beautiful before the camera, nor acted as well as she does in this production. " – THR Staff

• " The story, like Frankenstein and Dracula, has taken on the significance of a modern folk tale, layered with obvious moralizing and as familiar as personal history. " – Mark Chalon Smith

• " “King Kong,” as spectacular a bolt of celluloid as has thrilled audiences in a couple of sophisticated seasons, is the product of a number of vivid imaginations. " – Irene Thirer
