Viewing Notes

Wonder if Eiji Tsuburaya watched this which planted the seed for Ghidorah. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised given how much western art and film and whatnot all these filmmakers consumed during their formative years.

A smart programmer would screen this between Godzilla movies or during the pre show at the Drafthouse.
