Kong Undresses Ann in (Censored!) Scene From KING KONG (1933)

When "King Kong" (1933) was re-released in 1938, several violent shots which violated the Production Code were removed.
Along with these went a scene considered much too risque' in which a curious Kong peels off some of Ann Darrow's clothing.
The new edit cut away just as Kong was getting started.
Here's the original, restored version...

Quite frankly, neither could anyone else who wasn't ILM or some company like that even 15 or 20 years ago. The King Kong crew of the early 1930's had to do it the "really hard way" (inventing it all as they went) and it took them two years to get as far along as they did back then.

[@jeffreyhenry4615]

@@asahutchinsonsuckslittledi1056 I got to meet Mr. Harryhausen in 2006 at the "Halfway to Hollywood" film festival in Kansas City. He was very soft-spoken and humble about all that he had done, and his influence on the film industry. He brought along some models and other collectibles that were amazing to look at, but what was even better was listening to him talk about them and the animation process. He did a Q&A after a screening of "Jason and the Argonauts" which was also very entertaining. The director of the festival was holding a box containing one of the skeleton models from "Jason and the Argonauts" as he and Ray waited for the credits to finish up before taking the stage for the Q&A, when the festival director dropped the box. The skeleton bounced out of it losing an arm along the way. Ray smiled and calmly reached down, picked it up, and said, "Don't worry about it, the arm was built to come off!". He then put the model back in the box and headed off for the stage, while the director of the festival stood there, mouth agape! If you don't know his work, you can check it out here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_and_the_Argonauts_(1963_film) And more on the man here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Harryhausen He passed in 2013 at 94.

KING KONG wasn't made when cinema was in its 'infancy'. The 1930s is generally regarded as "The Golden Age", when filmmaking experienced a lot of innovation. KONG was one of the most important films produced in that era, expanding on spfx techniques as well as introducing new ones, and setting standards in sound design and music scoring still respected today. KONG was so ahead of its time that only two other stop-motion movies were made within 16 years of KONG's release - SON OF KONG (1933) and MIGHTY JOE YOUNG (1949). It wasn't until the films of Ray Harryhausen in the '50s and '60s that stop-motion made a major comeback. That same period saw KONG re-released in theaters and shown on TV, all of it generating renewed acclaim for the film.

This movie was utterly BRUTAL for the time period. People being eaten alive by all kinds of horrible creatures, animal violence, this scene (obviously), the train scene, Kong being shot down, that infamous deleted Spider scene, among others. In other words, this movie is one big middle finger to the censors at the time, and I love it.

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

*King Kong* was released a year before the Hays Code was enforced. But it couldn't have been made after 1934 -- at least not this version -- until the late '60s, when the Code was finally scrapped and the rating system was installed. The period 1929-1934 (when sound films became dominant) is known as Pre-Code Hollywood. They got away with a lot of stuff in that short window of time. It's fun to watch those movies now, in retrospect, since there was very little censorship at that time.

Note that the 1976 King Kong has a similar scene where Kong gets a bit too "fresh" with Dwan, just as he does with Ann in the 1933 version, removing the woman's clothing in both movies. In Peter Jackson's 2005 King Kong, this scene is made more "family friendly", with Kong violently knocking over Ann with his finger, rather than doing more intimate things. So, at least for this one scene, the 1976 King Kong was closer to the original 1933 movie than the 2005 version.

I saw the unedited version at a revival in LA in the late 80s or early 90s. I got to meet Fay Wray! But seeing the movie unedited was like seeing it for the first time.

[@davidsaddler7922]

Phenomenal classic cinema! Charming, surreal, and still fascinating after all these years!

[@markh3479]

This was my favorite movie growing up and I was so happy when they restored the "cut" scenes! They really butchered movies after re-releasing after the Hays code was enforced in the mid 1930s....like Kong, Frankenstein, Jekyll & Hyde etc.. Thank God someone saved those missing scenes.

[@SuperEddierivers]

There are parts of the re-released Public Enemy that are so hacked up they don't even make any sense. It wasn't until I saw the original version that I understood those scenes.

I went to see the then-newly restored Kong in a theater. Drew quite a crowd, too. We were all used to the stuff we'd seen lots of times on local TV, but the new stuff -- wow. People were ewwwing their way through the new parts of the film. It just worked, even after more than forty years. I hope the filmmakers would have been pleased; I understand Fay Wray was.

[@herringfly]

Nothing will top the atmosphere of films like this and Frankenstein from that time. They had a feel that no CGI could ever hope to capture.

[@danninmatthews5640]

Agreed

[@MrTrackman100]

Include "Dracula."

[@bethwilliams4870]

The sniffing was hilarious!

[@laurenhamre3915]

I remember a book version of this where they had this 'removing clothes' scene. I wondered where it came from. Now I know.

[@adamsinger123]

this entirely changes the pacing and seriousness of the original...... Also, the additional violence-shots were more eating-people than I recall Kong doing.

[@johnnysi6106]

Damn we come a long way! Good times

[@anglomik]

Read about this as a youngster in "Famous Monsters" magazine; now own the unedited cut. This is still my favorite version of Kong! Another famous scene removed from an early Tarzan film shows Tarzan & Jane swimming nude underwater. You should post that clip as well. 👍

[@mikegrossberg8624]

Actually, what happened in the "Tarzan" flick was that Maureen O'Sullivan dove into the river, and her top came off as she surfaced(the reason it might have looked like she was skinny dipping was because her "outfit" was a breechclout, like Tarzans'; front and back, NO sides, held on by a string around her waist, which left PLENTY of skin showing. A film or two later, and she was wearing a mini dress instead)

[@sgtbilkothe3rd]

@@mikegrossberg8624 Nice story, but no. The 1934 reel in question clearly shows Tarzan pulling her entire dress off as she falls into the water from the tree limb they are standing on. Subsequent shots do show both of them underwater, and while the loincloth story sequence is true, it does not apply to these scenes. In the scenes in question it is quite clear the actress or stand-in is not wearing a stitch of clothing.

[@mikegrossberg8624]

@@sgtbilkothe3rd To be honest, I'd never heard of the total nudity scene, just the missing top incident

[@rerenaissance7487]

When this was first shown on British TV in the early 1970s (I was pretty young), I distinctly remember all the prodding her clothes with a finger bit.

[@danielbruns7055]

In the states as well. I don't understand WHEN the claim of censorship is supposed to have taken place but I distinctly remember this scene in the early 70's. And if anyone wonders why, excuse me, I was twelve in 1972 I was SCREAMING for Kong to proceed.

[@parsnipmcgee329]

Me too, here in Seattle. They must have put all that stuff back in after all those dumb censorship laws got thrown out in the '60s. And all the natives getting mangled!

[@canaisyoung3601]

Maybe they showed the uncut version on international channels.

[@theofficialmole3461]

I didn’t know that these scenes were deleted because the one I have is the actual kong from 33 and my grandpa said he even bought it and everyone in the family has seen it a million times

[@photo161]

Amazing stuff, daring and hot! Thanks.

[@offplanetfilms]

I had no idea these edits existed! My father saw the original cut in the cinema when he was a small boy.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

KONG'S MOTHER: Kong! How many times have I told you not to play with your food?

[@patrickbutler4894]

How many brand endorsements did Kong lose after that scene?

[@marcolforoso4001]

It's a fantastic scene also from a technical point of view, a real absurdity to cut it!

[@OldHeathen1963]

Thanks for this. I watched it several times with my dad. I have to wonder if he knew. I didn't. Dad would have been to young to have seen it, Sad born in 30 and mom in 37. The remarkable thing was watching it every Thanksgiving ( NYC market area ) TV guide. Anyways, thank you.

[@mattfoley6082]

First time seeing this. Had no idea. I watched this movie on tv in the 70s when I was about 12 and it was so upsetting even without these scenes. I'm glad they cut them because I would've had nightmares. The woman screaming after being dropped is the worst.

[@eddieboggs8306]

After I saw the uncut version I realized Kong got what was coming to him.

[@lucilovecraft1621]

Still the greatest Kong of all. Original and best🦍

Right there with Boris Karloff’s Monster from the original Frankenstein. Can’t beat them.

KS Man thanks for the heads up! Quick, to the Google Cave! (A few minutes later...) Oddly, reading about the “original” version, 1910 short I believe it was, my memory has been jogged and I feel I’ve seen it, or a bit of it. Still, 10 points to you for having the courage to speak up. But, I’m still going with Boris. Cheers.

[@mikehudson8884]

Excellent post.

[@alanfoster6589]

Early on, the musician and wit Oscar Levant referred to King Kong as "a concert of Max Steiner's music with visual accompaniment". Steiner's score changed the way movie music was done.

[@jakevimont7776]

The way Kong moves makes me think of Wallace and Grommet.

[@rods6405]

I guessing its some form of clay animation.
