Un film de ma jeunesse (14-15 ans) que j'avais vu dans le cinéma de quartier de Paris-13e Le Barbizon. Un film qui m'avait marqué puisque je m'en souviens encore à 74 ans. Je l'engrange précieusement dans ma cinémathèque
Being a girl and now a woman of all creatures movies, this was a sure delight. I had never heard of this one. It was a great find. Everything about this was wonderful, including the giggle of the corny fish that was brought up from the ocean bottom. Thank you finding and posting.
The corny fish was an extinct species. Some long name that I don't remember and refuse to try and spell. But, it was recently announced that it's not extinct after all. Anyway, the context would be that the volcano stirred things up so deep that these prehistoric fish were killed, to float to the surface.
The first time I saw this movie was in 1961 or 62 at the theater.. that’s where I was every Saturday watching a double feature for about 25 or 35cents..
Hahaha, me too! Sometimes we didn't have enough money for the entire gang to get in. One of us would be designated to open the exit to the alley so the rest could sneak in.
@@flowermage7299 We were so fortunate to grow up in the fifties, the best of times. I often tell people that whoever wrote the screenplay for the Sandlot must have grown up in my neighborhood.
I haven’t read all of the comments, but thus far I haven’t read a single comment on the musical score. The composer is excellent in blending the very beginning, which has a very dramatic entrance, and then transitions from the dramatic to a very beautiful melody, in which he is bringing the little boy into the picture. Musical expertise the composer must be recognized. It is a five star composition .
SPOILER ALERT: The was one of my favorite creature features of my childhood. Now, watching it as an adult and knowing that Gorgo is a lost child - it really colors his actions and my response to him. Poor little guy.
This is a great film, made before computer generated graphics and the more entertaining for it. The creatures are rather endearingly unrealistic and I'm rather pleased that they returned to the sea safely. I watched this film in the '60s and wouldn't have minded killing them then. Odd how attitudes change with age - six decades mellow the mind and maybe makes one value life more!
@justthink5854 Sinclair? LOL, their commercial scared me to death back in the day. They're still going, but in a regional way. There's a station in Oklahoma, I think, with an original concrete Sinclair brontosaurus out front!
A fantastic film in its day, the acting and special effects were terrific and producers The King Brothers became well known after the release of this very good movie!!!!!
In about 1961 at JHQ Rhinenedahlen I met a national service soldier who acted in this movie., I was impressed. he said we had to go forward shouting, just as we did when the bar was opened.
Terrific heartwarming film made in 1960 released in 1961, the acting and the special effects are terrific also the King Brothers who produced this film got famous for this epic movie!!!!!
The special effects were on point! That creature looked just like one that may have populated the Earth years ago!! The realism was better than most creature movies today!!
Great film lots and lots of scenes of Gorgo . O Ofcourse was on her side and the baby ❤❤❤. Made in 1961 incredibly well made film . Must have cost a fortune to make
It’s amazing how all they had to do was give the kid back, classic movie though I remember seeing it many years ago. I always thought it was Britain’s Godzilla without the fire breath
I just love these quirky old monster movies. 🎥 and their actions are just the sort of thing you might expect from the English. Who think a flashlights 🔦is a torch.
I remember seeing this on TV as a kid in the mid-60's, thinking how sweet it was that Gorgo's mother just wanted to rescue her baby. It left a big impression on me; I have always remembered it. Seeing it now, the beasts look obviously fake, but that was actually part of the charm of those old formula-driven movies with their cookie-cutter characters and barely a budget for special effects. Now-a-days, they spend more on special effects than anything else, when they should have saved at least some of it to develop a decent storyline and script. Of course, no amount of money can rescue any of today's virtue-signaling [un]WOKE movies from the crapper. And that is why I find myself more and more looking back to watch the classics.
Un ancêtre de Godzilla peut être ou son cousin irlandais 😅😅😅? Ce film est tout simplement génial à plus d: un titre. Merci beaucoup pour le partage, bon visionnage à tous.
Merci pour ce film. Si on peut s'amuser du grotesque du monstre aux barrissements d'éléphant et des maquettes en carton qu'il casse, l'histoire est plutôt creuse : un monstre est capturé, il saccage une ville et s'en va. Un film a apprécier avec un regard d'enfant. Nous rajeunir, pendant 1h16, c'est déjà pas mal 😉
Harmi kun en ole niin hyvä elokuvien katsoja,etenkin yhdysvaltalaiset elokuvat ovat huonoja.ranskalaiset,enklantilaiset,neuvostoliito/venäläiset sekä aasialaiset elokuvat ovat hyviä.en juuri väkivaltaisistakaan pidä.
"Gorgo", классный фильм. Для своего времени, спецэффекты,великолепные! Мне этот фильм,даже понравился, больше "Годзиллы".Хотя актёры, для меня абсолютно неизвестные!
Terrific! The destruction in London was brilliantly done! 32:40 The drive through central London looks totally genuine which is a real surprise. I wonder if anyone today remembers it?
this was filmed about the same time that many classics came out from Hammer Films , Danish Saga Films or Planet Film( One million years BC - When Dinosaurs ruled the Earth - Reptilicus- The Island of Terror etc) so Europe was indeed keeping pace with Japan's Godzila and used the same formula (a nuclear experiment gone wrong) all creatures look so silly now but there was no CGI then
Bon film 🎬 Impressionnant, 🐍 car pour un classique 🎥 du genre qui à 62 ans 😬 il à très bien vieilli 🎙️ et se regarde avec plaisir 📺 ça me rappelle le premier King Kong 🦍 que j'avais été voir au cinéma avec mes parents en 1975/76 au niveau qualité de film 📼 avec une histoire 🎞️ et une interprétation de talent 🎧 . Merci pour le partage 📺 j'ai passée un excellent moment avec mes petits enfants 👪 qui on adorés 💯♥️💯
Laissons l'homme méditer sur son ultime conviction, que lui seul doit être le maître de toute la création...🌍 La vérité et l'humanité sort de la bouche des enfants 👼 Et ce spectacle de désolation 🌋 c'est l'homme et sa cupidité qui l'ont engendré 🤭😣🤮😭
SO much better than all those silly CGI creatures. Really charming They have a tiny Battersea Power Station in the background during the rampaging scenes with Mum.
Happy ending is right. I first saw this when I was 7 years old at the Flagstaff drive on theater ,in Arizona. We all like the movies with a kid in it. Mother and child reunions are always the best. Just a thought🐴 from the cowboy🤠 from Scottsdale🌵 Arizona🐎🏜🗽🇺🇸
Virgin is a legend globally and far far far older than Godzilla this movie is based on that legend same as other movies the legend is it will come to wipe man out when his dirty deeps reach breaking point. 1000s if yrs old mythology
He (God) gave his only begotten Son, John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
A good movie about two sleazeball promoters that get lucky, bring a dangerous creature to civilization, and it's mother comes to rescue it. These two schmucks would be in jail for the rest of their lives for the horendous damages and lives lost, lol.
I thought that it might be an infant Gorgo when you see its feet in the scene in the circus where they are trying to control it, huge feet for its size, like a puppy that’s going to grow bigger
