Common card · No. 264740

Gorgo is a 1961 British monster film directed by Eugène Lourié and featuring special effects by Tom Howard, and starring Bill Travers, William Sylvester and Vincent Winter. In the film, after an undersea volcano sends tremors throughout the Atlantic, a prehistoric creature is released from under the sea. The crew of a salvage vessel capture the giant amphibious creature and take it to London for public exhibition. It results in the creature's much larger mother invading London in search of her offspring, causing catastrophic destruction across the city in the process. Gorgo was produced by the King Brothers and British Lion Films, and was distributed in the United Kingdom by British Lion-Columbia on October 27, 1961.
