The beast from 20.000 Fathoms.. 1953.
After testing a nuclear test in the Artic, a frozen dinosaur thaws out and goes on a little terrorising spree on Manhatten Island.
50s monster movie at its best, using non stop motion by Ray Harryhausen (Clash of the titans) and cinematography by Jack Russell (Psycho). There is some good acting from Paul Hubschmid, Paula Raymond, Cecil Kellaway and Lee Van Cleef as a expert marksman. Admittedly with the film nowadays there is some noticeable flaws but they can be bypassed and still be enjoyed. 7 out of 10.
