VCI Entertainment now is advertising the upcoming Gorgo (1961) Blu-ray.
The story:
A volcanic eruption in the North Atlantic brings to the surface a 65-foot prehistoric monster. Two treasure divers capture the creature and take him to London where he made the star attraction at a circus. A scientist is thoughtful enough to point out that the sailors’ bonanza is only an infant, and that a full-grown specimen would be over 200 feet in height. Sure enough, Gorgo’s mama comes thundering ashore, reclaims her offspring and heads back to sea — but not before, she trashes a generous portion of London.
I saw Gorgo in 1961 during its release at the Rio Theater in Los Angeles (Western Ave. at Imperial Highway). It was paired with Babes In Toyland.
The Blu-ray is scheduled to be released on March 19.
