Mightiest melodrama of them all!"; "Spawned in the ocean's depths... it stalks the earth! Belching fire that blasts mighty cities into oblivion! A gory Goliath that lives to kill... kills to live! Diabolical demon of destruction... mightiest monster of them all - Godzilla!"; "Makes King King look like a midget!"; "Earth-shaking!

Trains ripped from the rails!"; "More! More! More! See every screen-shattering thrill!") starring Raymond Burr (in the American version), Akihiko Hirata, Takashi Shimura, Akira Takarada, Momoko Kochi, and Haruo Nakajima (the man in the Godzilla monster suit!). Note that this movie was originally titled "Gojira" when released in Japan in 1954. Two years later, an Americanized re-edited version was released which listed Terry Morse and Ishiro Honda as directors. It had most of the commentary by the Japanese actors about nuclear war removed, and new scenes were shot with Raymond Burr, who plays a TV commentator announcing what Godzilla is doing, thus allowing him to be in the movie without actually appearing in any of the original scenes! Even though these new scenes with Raymond Burr were added, the new running time of the movie was still 8 minutes shorter than the original running time, because they removed quite a bit of the original footage. The U.S. version is 90 minutes, and the original Japanese version is 98 minutes. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Enzo Nistri Important Added Info: Note that we think that this poster was created in the last 10 years (possibly in the last couple of years) for an Egyptian movie theater showing classic movies (perhaps this was created for a single showing, but we really don't know). It is certainly not any older than that! It was consigned to us from Egypt, but we know nothing more about its history, so please do not bid unless you can accept these uncertainties. Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. The poster has MUCH rippling discoloration throughout (it was likely removed from a wall). Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
