I went crazy over this movie when I was a boy, 7 years old in 1961. My dad took me down to the MEMROSE THEATRE in Norfolk, Va. where it was playing for months. The first time was a Friday night and the line to get tickets was all the way down Colley Ave. on the sidewalk and it turned the corner and went all the way down Raleigh Ave. As a boy, I had never seen anything like that. It was so exciting I could hardly stand it! Those were the days when movie going was something you could hardly wait for! I still watch this several times a year and I have the original movie poster from MGM 1961. It's wonderful!
"LIKE NOTHING YOU'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE"! on the top of the poster!
Excellent modeling and dioramas!!!
Unforgivable shameful military stock footage using American insignia as 😢
Great memories!
As a kid growing up in 70s/80s Britain, this film was often shown on TV during school holidays.
Whenever I spotted it in the TV listings I made sure to tune in - loved this along with 50s B-movie sci-fi.
The British version of Godzilla!! Love it 👍👍
And, don't forget about Dublin, Ireland they had also listed.
Easier to digest the UK version? Gorgo looks as if he suffers from idiopathic facial or paralysis - Bell’s palsy. My mother’s friend had it but recovered with proper care, regimen & treatment.
Fun Fact:It was made by the creator of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms(which inspired Godzilla)and this film is based off of Godzilla
@@brandonbeverly3607 didn't know that! Thought Godzilla was inspired by the Atomic bomb dropped on Japan!!
@@antoinettegreen5344 The Rhedosaurus was awakened in the arctic when it's lair was destroyed by a nuke and even the creator of Godzilla said that movie was a direct inspiration for that movie
as a soldier in Germany 1960 I met a National Service soldier who told me he was an actor in the movies, and his last job before being calld up was as a soldier in Gorgo he remembers running across a bridge. I will dee if i can recognise him LOL
Gosh
Tom: "They have to clean up after Mighty Joe Young first."😅
I am 72. You must be in your 80's mate ? I was drafted into US Army in 1969 😂
Wow what a wholesome moment between two grandpa 👴.!! I wish I can relate like this with my mate later in life. Congrats mates.! The amount of joy you guys must felt seeing moving pictures haha… we don’t know what will marvel us tomorrow again, we have come a long way.
@@Youngcixa it is a pretty cool little moment
Dont you just love the music and the efforts made in these movies. wonderfull times and movies.
My mother had a profound appreciation for classic monster movies, particularly the original King Kong and this film which she cherished deeply. It's been approximately 55 years, yet the memories remain vivid in my mind. One scene that always stirs deep emotions in me is when Gorgo momma, a towering creature, places her foot upon the enclosure's edge, enabling her offspring to escape to freedom. This moment, so powerfully depicted, never fails to evoke a sense of poignant nostalgia in me. Additionally, I must acknowledge the exceptional soundtrack of the film, a sentiment echoed by many others. Its a compelling composition that greatly enhances the entire movie's impact, and I wholeheartedly concur with those who praise its heartwarming quality.

Hello from PIKEVILLE KENTUCKY 💫 im 64 used to watch Chiller THEATER ON SATURDAY NIGHTS 11PM THIS SO REMINDS ME OF THAT LOVE YOUR UPLOADS NO MATTER IF ITS NOT SO SCARY NOW
From salyersville. Same
Gorgo is one of best mockbuster godzilla film ever 😀👍⭐🍿🌭
A true happy ending! Well, except for all those poor people who died....and for all those ancient buildings destroyed in my beloved London! But, in the end Mom saved her child! Fine movie, i enjoyed it! Thank you for uploading it!
It reminds me of a short story about a huge creature found on the beach. The scientists declared it but a child and it is nearly 100ft long.
Pity it didn't get as far as the Barbican Centre
Without a.doubt this is the most beautiful theme to any science-fiction or monster movie I have ever heard. The way the composer blends, the monster, with the little boy is incredibly ingenious. The music representing the little boy is heartwarming. Kudos Mr Lavagnino.
Two other beautiful SciFi scores: The Time Machine (Russel Garcia) and The Bride Of Frankenstein (fFranz Waxman)
@@solowcello Yes, the original The Time Machine.
@@solowcello Also 'Forbidden Planet'.
I remember this movie vividly. I was 8 year old when it came to the local theatre. There was a full page color ad in the newspaper for the movie. All the kids in the neighborhood begged our parents to let us go see it. They gave us each a quarter and about 8 of us walked to the theater to see it. I remember those red eyes scared me to death. I had nightmares for a week.
@deplorableneanderthal1265....Yes, being a kid +a vivid imagination + monster movies= a great time..!!
🤣🤣🤣
Never ever seen these wonderful movies!!! So well made and written!!! Thank you You Tube!!! It’s worth paying a small fee every month also for no commercials!!!
As a Godzilla fan I love this movie, wish they made an updated version of Gorgo.
Far better than any Godzilla movie!
I was only five years old when I saw this movie and I was really blown away, scary 😱 night, for the time they were the best special effects
Thank you for bringing back those fond memories
For uploading it and recommending it.
That kid is far and away the best actor in the entire film. And to be able to do an accent authentically at that age is incredible.
Maybe he's Irish, then there's no need to do an accent....
True
@@patrickoneill8707 Well apart from the fact that's a Scottish highland accent :D And a quick check on IMDB shows he was born in Aberdeen so that fits perfectly. Seen him in something before....ahhh yeah he's the wee boy in the Grayfriars Bobby film
@@MrAlanlaing he was excellent.
VINCENT WINTER was from ABERDEEN!
Watched this last year for the first time since the 70's, and it was a pleasant surprise. It's not dated very much and it's a decent film for what it is. It works because it sticks to the original Godzilla formula of man v nature and the latter being too strong for the formula. It doesn't have too many supporting characters like some kaijus. There's no comic relief. The model work is good and it's quite harrowing at points. It's really good for what it is. Also much better than the likes of Repticilus or Yongary.
The original Reptilicus didn't have that spurt of acid, that was added for the American cut of the film.
I knew this film existed, but never actually saw it.
Looks solid and better than I expected.
@deadby15 Hope you enjoyed it!
I saw it every time it came to a rerun theater in my hometown,
since it premiered in my country in 1962. That made it about 10 times.
A great classic monster movie. I loved the theme---that the monster was just a mother regaining the infant that the humans had stolen. And the warning at the end----that man should be wary of boasting that he is lord of creation----seemed very appropriate.
Of course, you have to suspend your disbelief to enjoy the story. Even as a kid I realized that the first thing the authorities would have done would have been to grab the baby monster and put it in the path of the rampaging mother. WAY better than letting her stomp half of London flat trying to find her baby. But that was part of the message about watching our hubris. Still, a great old fashioned monster movie.
In any fiction you must suspend that belief to enjoy them. If you can't you are impaired from enjoyment.
When it comes to suspension of disbelief, fact is stranger than fiction. Look at the wars, the chaos and the abject stupidity of politicians and those who make our decisions, then tell me about suspension of disbelief 😎 If Gorgo's mum popped up in London, do you really think 'the authorities' would do the right thing?

Fact is always stranger than fiction. Real suspension of disbelief comes when you start believing politicians, when you accept war, chaos, greed and abject stupidity as normal. If Gorgo's mum popped up in London, no doubt the idiots in charge would cause more destruction than a runaway dinosaur 😎
Always loved Mama Gorgo's wiggling ears. Thanks for uploading!
Incredible music, incredible score, incredible effects, incredible MOVIE! Far beyond the Toho work (especially pre-1980's) on all levels.
There is also a giant ape one too by the British.
Good movie and fun to watch. At least the science Isn't too wonky until the mom showed up. If you can accept the idea that a crocodilian from the Jurassic could withstand a 5-inch armor-piercing shell, well if she couldn't it wouldn't be much of a movie. I saw this movie in the theatres in the 60s and I enjoyed it just as much today as I did then.
Für mich immer noch eine Filmperle, ein Super Mega Hammerfilm, Danke dafür.❤❤❤❤❤
A great movie about an Irish Godzilla. But probably should have been named "McGorgo". Anyway it is excellent.
O'Gorgo.
Thanks CCC for a real classic 💪💥🦖🦕🫶❣️
Really an excellent movie. The final monolog is absolutely perfect and historic.
This is a really good monster movie!!! Thanks for the upload!!
😊Graf Orlok: Your wife has such a beautiful neck.
@@mikesilva3868 I prefer the inner thigh near the groin there is a much better blood source there.
Thank you for this!
I was seven when this was released. I loved it, loved my Gorgo comic and every monster comic and film. My tender heart bled for them all. I'll be a septogenarian lady this winter and I still love a cryptid story and all science fiction. I have written half my short stories in the genre.
@wideawake5630....Right on, Sci-Fi Grandma...!!!
the early 60's NATO weaponry and aircraft in this film are awesome.
I never knew this was in color. I remember seeing it on TV as a kid but, we only had a black and white TV. Even as kid, I thought he was the poor-man’s Godzilla. 😂🤣😂🤣😂😅
@chrisjenkins9978 Glad you enjoyed it colorized! Just so you know, we have a lot of films in both B&W and color. You can go to the description box of any film and find the link to the other version, B&W or color. Cheers!
@@CultCinemaClassics Sir, this film isn't colorized. It was filmed in color: 1:20.
Love these films ❤
Live a few hours ago. It was a blast chatting with everyone. Loved it had to go get beer. Please do live again soon. Timing was perfect. Thanks Cult Cinema ❤❤❤
@mickfeagan4658 Great!!! Dont miss out on the next ones! ; )
Ah! Brings back memories!!😊
I was 7 when this movie came I always wanted to see it but couldn't, I did have the comic book. Thanks for putting it on.😊
Your age is 69😊😊😊😊😊
@@roshanprdhan-vm6ei yes!
Wear are you from
@@roshanprdhan-vm6ei america
Steve Ditko drew the comic book. He later drew Spider-Man.
oh wow! i remember seeing this (a repeat on tv) way back in about 1980-something .. it made such a huge impression on me for some strange reason... how cool sto stumble upon it again! kinda made me smile seeing it again..
Yay! At last! Thank you from the bottom of my adventurous nine year old heart! Yay!
А сколько идиотов как всегда 🏃💨бегут от сенсаций... 😮
My first drive-in movie!! I was a 9 year old kid then.....good movie, (watch out for MOM)
Très belle et sage narration à la fin, une mise en garde pour les humains que nous sommes.
All things considered, this is a pretty good movie. Lots of aircraft and ship shots if you are into that sort of stuff, and the quality for a 63 year old film is excellent. The creature is a bit more cheesy than Godzilla (1954) but it's still well worth watching. The British are much more subtle with the destruction of London, it's not in flames like Tokyo after Godzilla got finished.
I do love those wiggling ears.
Subtle? London Bridge, Big Ben and Piccadilly Circus were totally destroyed!
yeah, and Godzilla romped across half of Tokyo and a lot of other places. Maybe subtle isn't the word but the movie was a lot less devastating than any Godzilla movie.
I'm not much on films like this, but however, this was a treat. Even though it was fiction...Something can be takin away from this. Never ever underestimate the power of a mother who loves its child. All these greedy people had to do was to let the baby go. In the end, momma and baby won while man and his stupide ways got MASHED!
Pensar que hace 60 años esta película causaba terror , en los cines del mundo.
En los años '60 aun se esperaba que los efectos radioactivos de las bombas atómicas , lanzadas en Japón , generara , o " liberara " , monstruos de este tipo.
En 2024 y por el calentamiento global , muchos esperan ver salir de las profundidades de la Antártica a ...
la Tribu perdida de Israel.
La Carcaña , Godzila , King Kong , siguen la misma idea.
Gracias por subirla , me recordó mi adolescencia.
Una grata sorpresa toparme con esta película clásica del género de la ciencia ficción en tan buenas condiciones.
Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.
Muy buena pelicula, al final triunfa el amor de una madre por su crio, ante la codicia y estupez humana.
Classic sci fi is the best. Thanks CCC 🥳🍻
😊😊Ann Darrow: Don't you think the skipper's a sweet old lamb?
The effects on this are really good.
Scenes we'd like to see -- Gorgo vs. Godzilla. Gorgo vs. Hedra. I dunno. I'm glad this is a one-off. Gorgo had no future then as it would now. There's a new Godzilla movie coming out around Christmas as I recall. "Godzilla Minus One" I think. The only changes to Godzilla from the 50's and 60's are -- nothin'. Same plot for how many years? The best were those silly made just for kids 60's and early 70's ones; my favorite being "Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster" complete with with a wild and crazy psychedelic club scene. The intro was so totally well done, colorful, everything moving and swirling around like one would expect out of some early 70's psychedelic nightclub where the action was hot. Lol! I don' know nothin' but that particular movie played on my town's local TV on Saturday mornings culminated with "Wrestling from Florida with Gordon Solie" could not be beat. My jaw dropped at the premier of the Ultimate Warrior! Where did that beast come from? Bigger 'n Gorgo, that's fer sure, man. OK. I digress. Happy to see this film posted here and in great resolution. It is important to keep these (cheesy) films alive as they are time capsules into a history carved up beyond all recognition.
Well, I don't necessarily disagree, but it's worth pointing out that since this comment was Made "Godzilla Minus One" came out and not only became a HUGE success but is also basically celebrated as a masterpiece.
One's mileage may vary of course.
But in any case the commercial future of Godzilla and japanese Kaiju movies (including or especially the more "serious" ones) certainly seems guaranteed for a long time to come.
Personally I'm also quite partial to the silly 60s extravaganzas and think it is quite regrettable that they would have no chance in our current culture that continues to be obsessed with the "dark" and "edgy".
Un film diviso in capitoli... È la prima volta che vedo una cosa del genere. Peccato per le parti non doppiate.
Thank you CCC. Great movie choice
Eugene Lourie also directed the 1953”The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms”
& later the 1956”Behemoth The Sea Monster”
both in b/w.
The Giant Behemoth (1959)
Bad acting really crap rubber monster rubbish story line .....
Brilliant loved every minute ❤
Filme 💋 eletrizante ! Sempre vale a pena assistir 💜🎀💜💙💚💛
Capolavoro ricco di significati soprattutto sulla follia e avidità umana
The only "monster movie" that is basically about mom looking for her baby. Love the ending, I saw it when I was 11 and I still remember it,
Jurassic Park II ("The Lost World") follows the same plot
The terribly done Gorgo monster debuts at 16:10. It is so awful that it is amazingly awesome.
I haven't watched this since I was a kid! Thanks for uploading a great film in such fantastic quality 😁
Thank you so much for putting this up. Haven't seen this since I was a kid.
I remember watching Gorgo as little kid of giant monster loved the movie 🎦
This is a classic! Love it! Thank you CCC for uploading it. Please continue to do a great job!
Love this movie when I was a kid!!
I could never remember the name of this movie.
It seems pretty good for 1961!
Fascinating, how good that Tower Bridge has been rebuilt.
Subtle dig at the expense of the Yanks there.
"one of London's olders landmarks..."
Filme maravilhoso!
Это была бабушка Годзиллы! А какие хорошенькие у неё ушки! Так натурально трепыхаются! А какие хорошенькие домики из картонных кубиков! Молодцы декораторы!
А если серьёзно... людская алчность и глупость не знают границ. Единственный голос разума был у ребёнка, но ведь взрослые дяди считают себя самыми умными. Когда уже человечество наконец,поймёт, что не только мы живём на Земле,есть и другие обитатели, они имеют такое же право жить. И нечего лезть туда, куда нас не просят и нарушать их покой и территорию. Под водой существуют различные существа,а может и целые цивилизации, они нас не трогают,и мы не должны их трогать.
Grazie per questo film e per i sottotitoli in italiano 🤗
Pour un film. De 1061 je l'ai trouvé super au point de vue des effets spéciaux et les acteurs sont à la hauteur je le conseille merci du partage

Aw, Gorgo has cute little flippy ears, just like in the Mexican comic book I read in 1965!
Toller Film und sehr spannend Dankeschön fürs hochladen 👍👍👍😎
Great movie!
Jó kis film köszönöm szépen a Magyar fel íratot külön

Jurassic world two was heavily inspired by this movie one will say. Just loved the movie, esp the ending. Good conquers evil!
pour un film de cette époque ( les sixties ) c'est vraiment pas mal an terme de réalisme . Bon flm .
Ero ragazzina quando lo andai a vedere al cinema..erano gli anni 70 ed in paese spesso progettavano questo genere di film...ah che bei tempi! 5:03
Loved this movie as a kid and as an adult !! I always thought the baby theme was a fantastic idea . Size does matter !!

That diving bell looks like a mashup of a mideval torture device and a propane tank. Certain death to ride that down into the sea. 😱
Not one actress in the entire cast except for Mama Gorgo, Marmo...
Oh dear, that means this movie is misogynistic…quick, we must cancel this movie immediately before someone gets their feelings hurt.
Great! (no stupid kiss scenes)
@@jonimoroni7475in fact it's a feminist movie, and could also be called "Mama Gorgo Against The Patriarchy" or "She-Gorgo Defeats The Toxic White Male Privilege".
I was struck by the fact that there was no love interest. No fainting. For a moment I thought the female reporter might be it but one question (about money!) and she was done.
