Twenty Million Miles to Earth*
US 1957. Columbia/Morningside. 82m. bw

A spaceship crashes off the coast of Italy on its return from Venus, and a specimen creature on board grows to uncontrollable size.
Predictably silly but lively monster movie, set in a quaint Hollywood version of Italy, making the most of its Rome locations at the climax.
