There's a scene in the begining where the old ship's captain & the showman (original characters from King Kong). stop off at a South Pacific island and head to the local bar for a drink. The entertainment consisted of 5 monkeys dressed in fezes, velvet vests & belly dancing cloths playing finger cymbals, a cello & drums. I couldn't stop staring at this ridiculous scene in awstruck amazement. For some reason the people back in the '30's really had an affinity for monkeys (just check out some old "Our Gang" shorts).As an old standup comedian from those days once said: "mongees iz da cwaziest beeple".
