This Ray Harryhausen classic is about a creature from Venus which has been loosed upon the earth after a rocket crash lands near Sicily. The beast soon grows from small to gigantic in a short period of time.
William Hopper is the lead and plays his role with excellence. I love the Harryhausen effects for the monster, called a Ymir.
If you have yet to see this gem, check it out and see what made monster movies from the 1950's so good.
