Ray Harryhausen's giant octopus is a stop-motion MASTERPIECE!
An excellent film & story!
Trivia: The producer's budget wouldn't allow the creation of an 8-tentacled octopus, so it only has SIX legs (this isn't noticeable, 'cos u think the other two are under water!).
And, the City of San Francisco didn't want the "landmark of their city", the Golden Gate Bridge destroyed (even in miniature!), so the cameras & crew had to be "smuggled" on the actual bridge!
A MUST-SEE film from the 50's !
