SON OF KONG is truly a charming "little" movie. It's unpretenious and only interested in providing a little over an hour of modest action and adventure with a bit of comedy. It should not be compared to KING KONG, nor the later MIGHTY JOE YOUNG. It's just a nice cinematic relic of the early 1930s.
Wow. I just posted a link on the Ten Commandments contest thread re Babes In Toyland (1934) and a Dec. 2006 comment spoke of reminiscing with friends about the very subject of this thread here. Just another example of something enduring on what is evidently a cross-generational scale.
