PHANTOM FROM 10,000 LEAGUES 1955 (MGM)

An early Milner brothers production.

Kent Taylor is Dr. Ted Baxter, an investigator working with the Government in an investigation of radioactive bodies being washed up on a particular section of the California coast. Michael Whalan is Dr. King, a scientist who may be responsible for creating a mutated life form which is protecting a precious element underwater.

Cathy Downs is Lois King, the beautiful daughter of the prof. and a love interest for Baxter. The monster itself is a pretty wild looking thing. When I first saw it I loved it as it looks like a twisted Muppet.

This release from MGM is the best the film has ever looked, and for monster fans like me that is perfect. The film rags a few times, but is still an enjoyable monster romp for those who like this kind of material. I find myself re-visitng this film often, and believe it or not it does gt more enjoyable with each viewing.
