IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA
- IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA
Film (1955). Clover/Columbia. Prod Charles H. Schneer. Dir Robert Gordon, starring Kenneth Tobey, Faith Domergue, Donald Curtis. Screenplay George Worthing Yates, Hal Smith, based on a story by Yates. 77 mins. B/w.
In this MONSTER MOVIE a giant octopus is affected by atomic radiation - as so often in the genre - and goes on a destructive rampage, attacking San Francisco and demolishing various landmarks, including the Golden GateBridge, before being destroyed by an atomic torpedo. The film, unimportant in itself, marks the beginning of the long partnership between producer Schneer and special-effects supervisor Ray HARRYHAUSEN, who was limitedhere by the small budget: his animated octopus, for instance, has only six tentacles.
