Description

King Kong (1933), jigsaw puzzle, US


Unframed: 22 x 11 in. (56 x 28 cm)

Framed: 28 1/8 x 17 3/4 in. (71.3 x 43.7 cm)


This puzzle from RKO Radio Pictures for the landmark 1993 film King Kong was advertised in the US pressbook. It was originally enclosed in a printed envelope, which is in a plastic sleeve attached to the reverse of the frame.


These original puzzles from 1933 do not surface very often.


A perfect blend of adventure, science fiction, and horror, King Kong is the ultimate monster movie. Willis O'Brien's use of stop-motion effects was ground breaking for the t.mes , and remains legendary. The film blew audiences away and broke all previous box office records. 

From the Andy Johnson collects ion, purchased in the 1990s.
