Ray Harryhausen Collection - 20 Million Miles To Earth/Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers/It Came From Beneath The Sea [Import

Description

Features three films that special effects master Ray Harryhausen worked on. Harryhausen created a detailed style of his own with stop-motion artistry that revolutionised the sci-fi genre. Includes the films 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH, EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERTS, and IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA. In 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH, the first space flight to Venus returns to Earth carrying a specimen of Venusian life called the Ymir. When the ship crashes into the sea upon its re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, the small, reptilian creature escapes, growing to an enormous size, eventually terrorising the city of Rome. The always beautiful and impressive creature animations of the great Ray Harryhausen elevate the film above the level of ordinary 1950's monster sci-fi. The Ymir is one of the best-known creations in his long, distinguished career. In EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS, space scientist Dr. Russell Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) and his wife Carol (Joan Taylor) are working on a secret missile project, but every time their rockets are launched, they are intercepted and destroyed by the more advanced technology of mysterious flying saucers hovering near the Earth. The alien race has completely surrounded the planet, giving Earth sixty days to surrender. The enemy spacecraft appear indestructible, and Marvin sets out to find a weapon that can defeat them. The special effects of stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen are legendary, most notably in the scene in which flying saucers attack the Capitol building in Washington, DC In IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA, an atomic submarine cruising the Pacific discovers a gargantuan octopus concealed in the ocean depths. By the time they figure out that the monster is the nasty by-product of a hydrogen bomb experiment gone awry, the creature is already well on its way to destroying San Francisco. The sea creature is yet another fantastic example of masterful stop-motion animation from the technique's master, Ray Harryhausen.
