Lost in Translation: Revenge of the Creature (1955)

 In the last one of these, I showed a crazy Poster for this Gill-Man Sequel.

His giant hand/foot (it's hard to tell really) is coming down on a City.

So, he's obviously not a giant in the Film, so that's wrong.

…however, what if this was metaphorical?  Maybe it's representative of how it impacted the City?


Here's an Italian Poster for it which does the same thing, but no possible subtext is available...

Cool Poster.

Still not a giant.

Here's the original...

Brighter colors and sharper contrast should make the 'giant' creature stand out more.  It gives it- and the Boat- a sort of 3-D effect, which is appropriate.
