Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Sci-fi schlock merchant Gordon followed The Amazing Colossal Man with this reprise of the same 'tall actor knocks over miniature sets' formula. Eschewing the Cold War paranoia of the previous offering, this one has Roger Pace as a 60ft giant with the mind of a wild beast, and a handy loincloth, who goes on the rampage when the powers that be whisk him from the wilds of Mexico to LA captivity. Watch out for the climactic burst of colour.Author: TJ
