Robert Armstrong playing Carl Denham as a barely disguised Merian C. Cooper (1933 King Kong, part 11 -- at 6:53) tries to put the rap on Fay Wray, as if she ever did anything as stoopid or malicious as drag a rare animal to New York City to shake it in front of the theater crowd for a couple of bucks.So, no, Bob or Carl or Merian. It wasn't Beauty, damn it, it was the motion picture industry in collaboration with the U.S. Army Air Corps that killed King Kong. They barely beat him with the best of their men and machines, all pinned themselves with a bunch of medals, and blamed the whole mess on a woman.
Mission accomplished.
