A crashed spaceship unleashes a rapidly growing monster from Venus.

DirNathan Juran CastWilliam Hopper , Joan Taylor , Frank Puglia .
83 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Nathan Juran. William Hopper, Joan Taylor, Frank Puglia, Thomas Browne Henry, John Zaremba, Tito Vuolo, Bart Bradley (Braverman). First spaceship to Venus crashes into the sea off Sicily, with two survivors: pilot Hopper and a fast-growing Venusian monster that just wants to be left alone (but fights back when frightened). Climax takes place in the Colosseum in Rome. Intelligent script, fast pace, and exceptional special effects by Ray Harryhausen make this one of the best monster-on-the-loose movies ever. Unnamed monster is known as "the Ymir'' to its fans.

D: Roy Rowland. Mario Lanza, Peggie Castle, Marisa Allasio, Renato Rascel, Rosella Como. Formula vehicle for Lanza, as a television star who retreats to Rome and falls in love; mellower than usual, with nice scenery and supporting cast. Technirama.
