13KDie Bestie aus dem Weltenraum: Directed by Nathan Juran. With William Hopper, Joan Taylor, Frank Puglia, John Zaremba. The first U.S. spaceship to Venus crash-lands off the coast of Sicily on its return trip. A dangerous, lizard-like creature comes with it and quickly grows gigantic.
“I saw this gem in 1957 at the Vineland Drive In, La Puente, California (which still exists! Saw Hellboy there last night.) The creature was so believable it scared me into peeking from beneath a blanket. I was eleven. I was hooked. Sci-Fi rules. Harryhausenu0026#39;s work is amazing and reason enough to seek it out. I was thrilled to discover it is available on DVD, and disappointed that some TV stations cut the elephant/creature fight scene for fear of upsetting animal rights folks. I will definitely find that DVD – and thanks to someone for noting the Full screen version is best, the u0026quot;Wide-screenu0026quot; is actually cropped top and bottom. I wanna see it all!”
