This film, along with Biancaneve e i sette nani (1937) and Laurel & Hardy movies, were thought to be Adolf Hitler's favorites. In his 2013 book "The Collaboration: Hollywood's Pact With Hitler" Harvard scholar Ben Urwand documents how Georg Gyssling, the Nazi Party's special consul, assigned to monitor Hollywood films, thought this scary monster ape movie might possibly be "an attack on the nerves of the German people," but there are other examples (M - Il mostro di Düsseldorf (1931) being a notable one) where Nazi leaders privately liked and consumed works of art they condemned and censored in public.
