It Came From Beneath the Sea

Actors:  Kenneth Tobey, Faith Domerge, Donald Curtis, Ian Keith, Dean Maddox Jr.   
Rating: 7 out of 10, those dastardly Pacific Ocean hydrogen bomb tests create yet another monster in this black and white Harryhousen classic.  In this case it’s a huge octopus (with only six legs if you look closely).  This is the slowest moving monster in cinema history so it’s lucky the victims stop and scream long enough to be eaten or the poor thing would have starved to death before it could take down the Golden Gate bridge.  Pure 1950’s schlock, I loved it.
MVP:  Tobey as the horny sub commander in hot pursuit of Domerge and the monster that tried to eat his sub
