Close-up of reissue number on "King Kong"

Sohmers told Holli that you can spot a reissued print because of the letter "R" in the NSS (National Screen Service) ID number along the bottom. In this image, "R56" signifies a reissue from 1956, and "263" indicates that King Kong was the 263rd movie released that year.
