King Kong featured in two Japanese monster movies in the late 1960s, King Kong vs. Godzilla and King Kong Escapes. This French poster, promoting the second of the two films, takes exceptional liberties with the movie's plot; at the end, Kong ascends to the top of the Tokyo Tower, nowhere near the Empire State Building. Beauty and the Beast p. 35.
