On April 10, 1933, the film King Kong was released to great reviews and did fantastic at the box office! And even though he died in the end, it wasn’t the end for the Great Gorilla! In this episode, I have the story of King Kong’s release and all that followed on the 203rd episode of Sunday Morning Coffee with Jeff.
