...Japan for special effects and spend three million: for a million it would only be an "intellectual" film. Now a second script by Stan Lee also seems doubtful of acceptance by American producers, and Resnais speculates on the irony that he may end up shooting The Inmates in a mock-up of the Bronx in Yugoslavia...

The small remaining piece of land is jammed with old sets and mock-ups haphazardly clumped together, waiting mutely for a last chance to burst into life on film. The short studio roads flow together soundlessly, and it is easy to become disoriented, moving with only a few steps from a brownstone-lined street in little old New York to the quaint cobbled "place" of a French provincial village to the log-fenced parade ground...

This latter scene, conveying a frightening sense of height, is the only technically effective addition. Hollywood hadn't mastered the art of mashing bodies, so the close-ups show the victims carefully placed between gaps in Kong's lower teeth.

This new set of close-ups weakens the film's attempted verisimilitude and should quietly be returned to the censor's vault...
