About the Film
A volcanic eruption in the North Atlantic brings to the surface a 65-foot prehistoric monster. Two treasure divers capture the creature and take him to London where he made the star attraction at a circus. A scientist is thoughtful enough to point out that the sailors’ bonanza is only an infant, and that a full-grown specimen would be over 200 feet in height. Sure enough, Gorgo’s mama comes thundering ashore, reclaims her offspring and heads back to sea — but not before, she trashes a generous portion of London.
About VCI Home Entertainment
There are probably many who still wonder, “Who is VCI?” and sometimes I wonder the same thing. Fortunately for you, I might be able to shed a little light on that subject, because I’ve been here since the inception of the company.
Once upon a time… or so the story goes… there was a young man who loved movies. His name was Bill Blair. Bill grew up in a small Oklahoma farming and ranching town; far, far away from the Hollywood glitz and glamour. He loved movies so much, he saved his money until one day he was able to buy a film projector. On many warm summer nights, he would set that ‘magic lantern’ up in an open tent and project movies on a big white bed-sheet to anyone who could afford his 2 bits admission charge; however, more often than not, he let people in for free.
