THE GIANT CLAW (1957). Probably the Bastard child of 50's Big Monster films. Loaded with endless stock footage and narration and the titular creature...words fail Me at how bad it looks...truly a low point. Had heard Columbia studios are going to use Ray Harryhausen for effects-which truly would have helped-but wasn't in the budget, so they had a Mexican special effects studio construct "The Claw" and laughter was all but guaranteed.
Mara Corday, Jeff Morrow and Morris Ankrum do the best they can with the script...have heard Morrow saw TGC premiere in his home town and left the theatre early to avoid being seen and started drinking as soon as He got home. *
