Original MGM Insert Poster (14×36) for the Eugene Lourie sci-fi cult classic, GORGO (1961) starring Bill Travers, William Sylvester, Vincent Winter, and Christopher Rhodes. When a baby sea monster is captured off the Irish coast and put in a London circus, Gorgo (the English “Godzilla) escapes and wreaks havoc on the city. But when Gorgo’s mother comes to reclaim her baby, the excitement and destruction get notched up considerably. Lourie directed other giant monster films and knew how to make the action sequences fast and exciting. The production values were definitely better than the Japanese monster movies. Both of the monsters—mother and son—look reasonably realistic. Solid acting by all the main characters and a good musical score further enhance the film’s effectiveness. The insert poster is folded, somewhat irregularly — but the condition is very fine.
