The Giant Behemoth is a 1959 science fiction film in black and white. It was directed by Eugéne Lourié and Douglas Hickox, and the stars include Gene Evans, John Turner and Leigh Madison.
This is one great monster film that is well remembered from seeing on late night TV. An atomic explosion has woken something terrible in the deep ocean. A fisherman goes missing but soon his daughter finds him dying on the beach. Scientists are investigating what happened, and they discover that it's too late! An enormous dinosaur swims along the River Thames and then it causes havoc in the streets of London!
This is the era when other monster movies appeared, such as "Godzilla" and "The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms", the latter was also directed by Eugene Lourie. The original plan was to make the creature look like a blob and then decided to introduce a dinosaur, which is much more scary.
A feast of a film gets a 10/10!
