The actual artwork itself on both of these posters is identical. What strikes
me is that for a supposed 1st release poster (the ebay copy), there are no
production credits at the bottom (or anywhere else) and no RKO logo.
The second version has production credits at the bottom, but then is missing
that small logo and the word "Presenta" at the upper right. Because of this
omission, the 3 actors' names are now not centered. And with the name
Enterprise Films in the credits, on this version, wouldn't that suggest a later
release by a local distributor?
It would be great to be able to see the small mark/symbol on the lower right
border of the ebay copy and to be able to read what is printed in the same area
of Doug's second version, too.
The bottom image is a first release poster for Kong, in Argentina.

This poster just sold on ebay:

<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360357329376>
&item=360357329376
It has interesting artwork, that is similar to this poster:

My questions are:
Are they both original 1933? If so, does anyone know the difference between
the two? Did they just release two styles or is one a reprint or re-release
of some sort?
Thank you
DBT
