They try to cross a lake on a raft and a snake-necked brontosaurus dumps them in the water, bites some of them dead. Finally they catch up with Kong. He flicks all except the producer and first mate into a crevasse, puts Fay Wray on top of a dead tree while he wins a wrestling match with a tyrannosaurus.

She was wearing shell pendants in her hair, around her neck. From her waist hung an apron of strung shells. A dagger of antler dangled from a thong.

Night After Night (Paramount) is the Grand Hotel of the speakeasy industry, a glib, neatly put together formula-picture illustrating the hypothesis that true love chuckles at grilled doors. The proprietor of the speakeasy in this picture is no common Tony; he is Joe Anton (George Raft) and his blind-tiger is as elegant as his double-breasted dinner coat. When Joe Anton observes a fetching gilded youngster propping her face against his champagne glasses, he wonders who she is. He learns that she is a Miss Healy (Constance Cummings) and that the saloon which she patronizes, out of nostalgia...
