A lot of B-grade Sci-Fi movies came out in the 1950's and were quite popular at the time, now they're considered virtually classic material. The craftsmanship of Ray Harryhausen in charge of the special effects is infamous for them. Who can forget such magical films like; Jason and the Argonauts (1963)
. One Million Years B.C. (1966)
. First Men in the Moon (1964)
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974) and The Valley of Gwangi. They pay homage to an exceptionally talented man. The plot is a similar one to a few other films of the genre, but we can easily overlook this and concentrate and appreciate the visuals of the Venusians creature.
20 Million Miles To Earth commences with a space rocket crashing into the sea near Sicily, Italy. Only two survivors are dragged from the wreckage before it sinks. Unbeknown to the rescuers another small passenger has escaped the sinking craft and is washed ashore. A village boy sees it and secretly picks it up and sells it to a local zoologist. What happens after that you'll have to watch the film to find out. The film is shot in B/W and the cast are fairly competent as far as B-grade Sci-Fi films go. I also noticed too, the leading man 'William Hopper' I have seen in a few films before especially one of my favourites;- The Bad Seed. Just sit back and enjoy it for what it is . 7/10
