Why nobody told me there was a British Godzilla. Gorgo 1961 | Horror-, sciencefictionfilmIn that day and age everybody had a monstermovie/Godzilla - Denmark entered the fray with Reptilicus which is reported to be the worst ever Danish movie (haven't watched it). It's also airborne
There was also a US movie of the name and it seems both being produced by Sidney Pink.
Think i have agree after watching the trailer (watch at your own risk, alternate-timelines.com is not liable for lost time refund from watching this trailer).

Gorgo is a seriously decent flick, for its time, budget, SFX capacity and what not. Plenty of late 1950s military hardware deployed uselessly to try and stop the mother monster swimming from Ireland to the Thames to fetch her baby.

As a monster picture, it made for an excellent contrast to the over-jingoistic ability for conventional human weapons to harm such creatures, as found in the silly Godzilla picture with Matthew Broderick, and also some cringeworthy articles online (that I recall coming from the USAF at Kadena AFB) ; in the latter case, as well as on a YouTube video, there is a blithe presumption that the whizzbang modern weapons will always work. That in itself made it worth the hour and a bit it runs for, in addition to the 1950s aircraft, the Centurions and the naval action.

I just watched Pride in Prejudice; the movie isn't nearly as good as the mini-series by the BBC.
