Between a lengthy chase and a devastating fire, the final half-hour delivers the goods, and Willis O'Brien (assisted by Ray Harryhausen) earned the Best Special Effects Oscar for his efforts.

Though in the shadows of Kong it still brings back fond memories of how to make a special effect film back in the old days.

Tame, but well done giant ape flick.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 4/5 --
Great Willis O'Brien effects, a good story and fine cast. A wonderful fantasy, not as good as King Kong, but still fun to watch.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Rating: 3/5 --
More of a historic novelty than an action film.
