Watched this last night. Tape in great condition. "Strange and beautiful" (to use Gary Merrill's words if I recall them correctly) landscapes reflect Bernard Herrmann's haunting and vigorous score like a well polished mirror. Ray Harryhausen never better with crab and bee terrifyingly life like. Balloon ride truly edge-of-the-seater.
