Is there anyone that doesn't want to enjoy having this Harryhausen masterpiece in their personal film library? Everyone wants to watch this classic over and over again. Much thanks to Shadows of the Dark for sharing this.
★★★★ · Old movie, sound not so much · Gypsumm · 2021-12-24
The movie was good, ray harryhausen never disappoints. It was pretty sexist, tho, but let’s let that ride…’50s movies tend to be. The sound, however, was terrible. It sounded like it was recorded in an empty Quonset hanger, or the back of a toilet, Orsen Welles style..or maybe a 15 year old’s mother’s garage. FX was terrific.
