Trailer 405 of 464
Inoshiro Honda's 1954 classic spawned a virtual industry of Japanese monster movies when it was released overseas in 1956 in a reworked English version with added scenes featuring Raymond Burr as a US reporter. Even this tampering (more carefully done than subsequent efforts) couldn't erase the bleak atomic age metaphor that makes both incarnations the most somber and funereal of all apocalyptic movies. Great score by Akira Ifukube.

oh man!. The Robert Youngson film compilations and the books of William k Everson are what got me interested in silent film in the 60s and early 70s...
The Italian cutr looks beautiful but I sure miss Karloff's voice, that's a big loss. Drip Of Water scared the hell out of me as a kid !.
Mr. DeCoteau, if this was made in '63/'64, Joan was closer to 60...
