Trivia: According to the book “David O. Selznick’s Hollywood” by Ron Haver, costume designer Walter Plunkett (later noteworthy for Gone with the Wind (1939)) worked uncredited on this film. Specifically, he designed the “Beauty and the Beast” costume that Ann Darrow wears while Carl Denham is filming her screen test.
Goofs: Continuity: When Kong is shaking the sailors off the log, the second person falls and land at the bottom of the chasm, but when the camera cuts back, he appears to be back on the log.
