The Cyclops (1957)
6/10
The Cyclops in old Mexico
16 November 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Three men and the woman who is financing the expedition go into a forbidden part of the Mexican desert. Gloria Talbott is searching for her fiancé who was an aviator and went down in the region three years earlier. Her fiancé's best friend James Craig who is a scientist is along, pilot Tom Drake, and Lon Chaney, Jr. who is looking for uranium deposits is along.

Radioactive material they find all right, it makes ordinary creatures grow to incredible size. One of those creatures is a 25 foot deformed man with only one eye like the legendary cyclops of Greek mythology. I think we know what happened to the fiancé.

Bert Gordon produced this one for Allied Artists on an Allied Artists shoestring budget. But the studio got its money's worth. Some nice sincere performances from the cast about a human tragedy.

The Cyclops is worth a look.
