There was a whole genre of films and themes spawned by an idea that goes back who knows how far.
Here's an early depiction from some WWI propaganda:
The film Ingagi "a 1930 Pre-Code exploitation film" really got the ball rolling.
(Can anybody find a copy? "Son of Inagi - 1940" is ubiquitous) I would almost bet that Ingagi is what's being shown at the joint in the photo, "Post-Code".
It might have been the "Deep Throat" of it's day.
Then came King Kong in 1933:
