After a 7 year hiatus, Godzilla returned to the screen to take on King Kong in the 3rd film in the Godzilla franchise. A pharmaceutical company captures King Kong and brings him to Japan, where he escapes from captivity and battles a recently revived Godzilla.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The New York Times by Bosley Crowther
The one mild surprise of this cheap reprise of earlier Hollywood and Japanese horror films is the ineptitude of its fakery.
It began a transition in the series away from horror and toward kid-friendly adventure.
