Mill Creek Entertainment
will have genre fans’ hearts all a flutter on Aug. 19 with the Blu-ray release
of the Ray Harryhausen Creature Double-Feature.
For just $14.98 (before
discounts at retail), you get hi-def versions of director Robert Gordon’s 1955
sci-fi thriller, It Came from Beneath the Sea and director Nathan Juran’s 1957
alien creature feature, 20 Million Miles to Earth.
It Came from Beneath the Sea teams Kenneth Tobey (The Thing from Another World,
The
Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Billy Jack, etc.) with Faith
Domergue (who starred the same year in This Island Earth) and features Ray
Harryhausen’s atomic age octopus and its attacks on San Francisco’s Golden Gate
Bridge and the iconic Ferry Building on the Embarcadero.
The Ymir, an ever-growing
creature from Venus, is center stage in 20 Million Miles to Earth, which
starred William Hopper (perhaps best known as Paul Drake in the Perry
Mason television series, plus such films as Rebel Without a Cause, The
Deadly Mantis and The Bad Seed) and Joan Taylor (she
starred in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers the previous year). The big set piece here is the climatic
battle at the Colosseum in Rome!
