  • The first US manned space flight from Venus crash lands in Sicily causing them to lose their precious cargo of reptilian eggs retrieved from the planet's surface. An Italian zoologist recovers the eggs and watches as one hatches into a rapidly-growing monster. The shocking giant lizard grows so enormous that it threatens the entire city of Rome. The zoologist's American granddaughter Marisa and returned astronaut Calder must battle with the American and Italian military to corral the creature before it destroys everything in its path.

      Actually, the correct title is THE BEAST FROM 20.000 FATHOMS.* Based on a short story called "The Foghorn" (originally published in Collier's, I believe) by Mr. Harryhausen's long-time friend, near-namesake, and fellow dino-enthusiast, Ray Bradbury.

    A high end movie in 1957. Filmed on location in Italy with real helicopters and airplanes plus the best special effects of the time. The stop animation or "clay-mation" as we called it is superb. With no digital cameras or computers it was done using clay figures moved and reanimated frame by frame with film cameras. FYI - Godzilla came out in 1954 using a different method with elaborate models and miniatures destroyed by a guy in a rubber suit. That must have been a fun job.

      @NewtonDKC Год назад +17

      So glad to see others feeling the same way I am at watching this. The poor creature wasn’t vicious at all (though it would understandable if he was!) - he was just scared and hungry, and probably very confused at the strange place he’s in (I’m assuming he was a baby and hatched from the gelatinous egg thing?). The dog attacked it first, and even then the creature waited before finally punching it - for all we know the dog is just unconscious. But even the astronaut guy tells everyone it isn’t dangerous unless provoked - and so immediately provokes it with a big pointy stick! How about you humans think and put some Oates in the cart and give it some quiet time to go in and eat, then Quietly shut the gate (not that I want it to be mistreated by scientists either!). But no, let’s threaten it and scare it even more, when quiet and calm gestures and offerings of Coates would have done wonders. Even then it only attacks after being stabbed in the back with a freaking pitchfork! And is then shot multiple times and just runs away. Not a violent or dangerous “beast’ at all. The sad part is this is how humans have typically acted in real life - attack first, kill, maim, wound, before considering or trying better options. Considering humans do these terrible things not only to different species but even other humans, I suppose it’s ridiculous to expect any better. If aliens somehow watch this stuff, then zero reason to wonder why they don’t make contact even if the government is gradually admitting to their presence. I just hope they realize some humans are peaceful and would never harm or be aggressive to peaceful others. And even tho this is a work of fiction, the fact that many of us can still empathize and call out when other humans are acting horribly gives me hope. Congrats fellow good and kind people! :-)

    If they do a remake of this movie, I hope they have some people wanting to make friends with Ymir (the creature) and want to help return to Venus.

    Harryhausen at his best, or amongst his best. The lead, William Hopper, was Paul Drake in the OLD Perry Mason show with Raymond Burr.

    Not Harryhausen, but my favorite B&W movie of that time is "Them!", still some effective horror-parts, which might've been even better if the giant ants would've been stop-motion, though oversized puppets definitely have their own charme

    I remember Creature Features when I was a kid. They would show old movies like this. Such gems. That creature was just scared and the idiots trying not to harm it. The poor thing was just trying to survive in this cruel world. It attack when the idots started to attack. Fun movie for the kids to watch. Wonder why they never did a remake in color. I enjoyed it. Another lost gem. Love these old movies. Nothing to watch on TV anymore. Thanks for sharing.

    What I love about this film is the sympathy the audience felt for the poor Ymir's death, and the Hope it left us that there would be a sequel.
    Also a great job remastering one of my all time favorites. I watch this at least twice Yearly. 👍👍& 100⭐

    I love this movie since about 1997 when I saw it on Sci-Fi Channel's Ray Harryhausen Week! have The 2-Disc 50th Anniversary Edition DVD's released in 2007. Next I will be getting The Indicator All-Region Blu-Ray. June 29th 1920 Ray was born will be getting it next month sometime before lol. No one can touch Ray Harryhausen ever. I am only 40 when I first saw Mighty Joe Young '49, The Golden Voyage Of Sinbad '74 and Clash of The Titans '81 as my Dad taped both on VHS. Then by the 90's saw more of his work on TNT's Monstervision and also as I mentioned my first viewing and also even taping of 20 Million Miles To Earth. Ray Harryhausen Week on the Sci-Fi Channel this dude made my body chill on so many scenes with his creatures. Also grabbed my heart scenes made me cry tears of emotional pain and sympathy for the Ymir and many of Ray's other fantastic creatures. When the farmer stabs him with a pitchfork not only do I feel the physical pain of the Ymir I can feel the creature's pain. Then it gets better the Ymir coming after them as they are leaving the barn the lights and shadow the animation is amazing! Willis O'Brien - O'Bie and Ray started it all shame most of O'Bie's projects didn't get off the ground. So sad and a shame O'Bie died thinking no one remembered him. Technically not true to us creature and visual effects gurus lol. But Ray didn't die that way had had a huge legacy behind him. When Ray died I cried my eyes out. Ray's projects did get off the ground. Ray's Elementals project was scrapped for this. The Ymir was originally to land in Chicago. The Ymir went through many stages before progressing to this creature shown here. Pretty much looked like The Cyclops to end up his next film ''The 7th Voyage of Sinbad'' '58. This was to be possibly in Color initially but Ray rejected that idea and saw nothing but more technical issues to shoot in Color. Ray was also testing new black and white film stock on the market at the time as well. This was Ray's first effort with Charles H. Schneer away from Sam Katzman at Columbia. As Charlie and Ray formed Morningside Productions also through Columbia. One final note Every time I watch certain documentaries about Ray I cry at the end. Fuck C.G.I. Ray is the master 100% always in my heart!
