20 Million Miles To Earth (1957)

[ Narrator ] GREAT SCIENTIFIC
ADVANCES ARE OFTENTIMES
SUDDEN-ACCOMPLISHED FACTS...
BEFORE MOST OF US
ARE EVEN DIMLY AWARE OF THEM.
BREATHTAKINGLY UNEXPECTED,
FOR EXAMPLE,
WAS THE SEARING FLASH
THAT ANNOUNCED THE ATOMIC AGE.
EQUALLY UNEXPECTED WAS
THE NEXT GIGANTIC STRIDE--
WHEN MAN MOVED OUT OF
HIS VERY ORBIT...
TO A POINT MORE THAN...
[ High-pitched Whooshing ]
PEPE, IS IT YOUR DESIRE
THAT THE FISHES,
THEY SWIM AWAY ?
COME ON ! PULL UP
ON THE NET. HERE.
[ Mutters ]
MANY ROPES TO CATCH
A LITTLE FISH.
NOW, IN TEXAS, JUS FOR ONE LITTLE ROPE...
SHE CATCHES A BIG COW.
THE NET. THE NET !
TEXAS. TEXAS.
WHAT IS THAT ?
OH, MONDELLO,
YOU DO NOT KNOW
OF TEXAS ?
SHE'S A BIG COUNTRY ACROSS
THE SEA, NEAR AMERICA.
[ Whooshing ]
THAT'S WHERE
THE COWBOYS--
SILENZIO !
[ Whooshing Continues ]
LOOK !
WE GO BACK.
WHY, VERRICO ?
IT IS A POSSIBILITY
THAT IN THE AIRCRAF THERE MAY BE PEOPLE.
BUT VERRICO, THAT IS
NO USUAL AIRCRAFT.
THERE ARE NO PEOPLE ON IT.
AH, MONDELLO, YOU KNOW
THIS THING, YOU SAY ?
YOU WERE PERHAPS
INSIDE OF IT, HUH ?
WHAT ARE WE, CHILDREN
OR MEN OF THE SEA ?
WE GO BACK.
WE GO BACK.
LOOK. A HOLE.
PEPE,
THE BOAT HOOK !
MONDELLO, YOU COME WITH ME.
IT MAY BE I WILL NEED YOUR HELP.
WHY ME, VERRICO ? WHY ME ?
ARE YOU NOT SUPPOSED TO BE
THE BRAVEST MAN IN ALL
OF SICILY ? COME ON !
MONDELLO.
[ Speaking Italian ]
VERRICO ! MONDELLO !
[ Loud Banging ]
[ Hull Groaning ]
[ Loud Banging Continues ]
THIS MAN, HE STILL LIVES.
TAKE HIM TO THE BOAT,
QUICKLY !
TAKE HIM.
BRING HIM.
[ Loud Banging ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Loud Banging ]
[ Loud Banging ]
[ Mondello ]
VERRICO !
VERRICO !
ROW, ROW, PEPE ! ROW !
IT IS DANGEROUS HERE.
- VERRICO !
- THERE MAY BE
OTHER PEOPLE INSIDE.
[ Mondello ]
NEVER MIND THE OTHER PEOPLE !
SAVE YOURSELF !
GET OUT OF THERE !
[ Loud Banging ]
[ Explosions ]
[ Grunting ]
VERRICO, THE OARS.
[ Panting ]
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN MORE
THAN TWO MEN IN THERE.
MOST CERTAINLY, PEPE.
BUT WE COULD NOT REACH THEM.
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.
WELL, FROM
ALL INDICATIONS,
SHE'S SPLASHED IN
SOMEWHERE RIGHT HERE,
UNDER THE SEA.
PERHAPS NOT, GENERAL.
CALDER MAY HAVE
REGAINED CONTROL.
I APPRECIATE YOUR OPTIMISM,
DOCTOR, BUT THAT'S
THE WAY IT READS.
WE GOT A RADAR BLIP ON HER
JUST OFF ICELAND--
ALTITUDE: 200 MILES;
RATE OF DESCENT--
WHAT WAS IT ?
ANOTHER SIGHTING BY STILLMAN
FROM MARSEILLES.
RATE OF DESCENT STILL
I'M SORRY, DOCTOR.
THAT PUTS HER RIGHT DOWN
WITH THE FISH.
WHAT MAKES ME SICK INSIDE
IS THAT THEY WERE SO CLOSE--
SO VERY, VERY CLOSE.
THEY MADE IT THERE
AND ALMOST MADE IT BACK.
[ Phone Rings ]
MAJOR STACY SPEAKING.
HOLD IT.
TELL THE GENERAL.
McINTOSH. YES ?
WHERE ?
IS THAT CONFIRMED ?
THANK YOU.
SHE'S DOWN OFF
SICILY, DOCTOR,
ONLY A FEW KILOMETERS OFF
THE COAST OF A FISHING
VILLAGE NAMED GERRA.
WHERE IS IT ?
THERE IT IS, RIGHT THERE.
MAJOR, WE'LL NEED
THE COOPERATION AND COURTESY
OF THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT.
GET THE STATE DEPARTMEN ON THE PHONE. WE GOT A GREEN
LIGHT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
TELL THEM TO GE THE ITALIAN EMBASSY
TO CLEAR THE PATH FOR US.
TELL THEM WE'RE IN A HURRY
AND TO PUT THE RED TAPE IN
A DRAWER UNTIL THIS IS OVER.
AFTER THAT, CALL TRANSPORT.
TELL THEM THE DOCTOR AND I
ARE LEAVING NOW FOR SICILY.
[ Major ]
YES, SIR.
[ Dialing ]
[ Chattering, Indistinct ]
[ Italian ]
TAKE THEM TO THE
COMUNE DI GERRA,QUICKLY.
MONDELLO, GET A DOCTOR.
SI, SIGNOR COMMISSARIO.
[ Italian ]
YOU WERE INSIDE THE WRECK.
WERE ONLY THOSE TWO MEN ABOARD ?
NO. I WAS INSIDE
WITH MONDELLO.
WE SAW ONE MORE MAN,
BUT IT WAS A CERTAIN THING
HE WAS DEAD.
BUT, SIGNORCOMMISSARIO,
THE SHIP OF THE AIR,
SHE WAS SO BIG, SO VAST,
SURELY THERE MUST HAVE BEEN
OTHER MEN INSIDE TOO.
[ Commissario ]
I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED...
AND TELL ME ABOUT IT SLOWLY.
[ Man ]
SIGNOR COMMISSARIO !
SIGNOR COMMISSARIO !
THE DOCTOR IS NOT AT HOME.
HE'S FAR OVER A SIGNORA MARTINELLI...
WHO IS IMMEDIATELY
HAVINGBAMBINO.
PERHAPS TWINS AS BEFORE.
WHO KNOWS ?
AND SIGNOR MARTINELLI
IS A VERY SICK MAN.
THAT'S TOO BAD.
THERE IS THAT OLD DOCTOR
FROMROMATRAVELING WITH
HIS AMERICAN GRANDDAUGHTER.
IS HE STILL HERE ?
THE OLD MAN WITH THE HOUSE
ON THE WHEELS ?
YEAH.
PEPE WOULD KNOW.
PEPE !
PEPE !
PEPE SELLS THEM WORTHLESS
SHELLFISH, ANYTHING
OF NO VALUE. PEPE !
PEPE !
SI,VERRICO ?
YOU HAVE NEED FOR ME ?
THAT OLD DOCTOR FROMROMA
WHO TRAVELS HERE--
DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS ?
DR. LEONARDO ?
SI, SI.
HE IS CAMPED AT MESSINA,
ONLY A SMALL KILOMETER
FROM RESIDENCE OF SIGNOR GRAFI.
GOOD. DO YOU KNOW
WHERE THE PLACE IS ?
OF COURSE.
GET THE DOCTOR HERE
AT ONCE.
IMMEDIATAMENTE.
PEPE. PEPE.
[ Parrot Squawking ]
DR. LEONARDO ?
DR. LEONARDO ?
[ Italian ]
COME WITH ME NOW.
COME QUICKLY. A GREA AIRCRAFT FELL INTO THE SEA.
IT'S A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY,
AND TWO MEN NEED YOU NOW.
SLOWLY, MY FRIEND. DO I
UNDERSTAND THERE'S BEEN AN AIR
CRASH AND MEN HAVE BEEN HURT ?
SI, SI. AND DOTTORE BORINO
IS WITH SIGNORA MARTINELLI WHO'S
ABOUT TO HAVE TWINS, TRIPLETS.
I'M AFRAID I WON'T BE
OF ANY HELP. I'M A DOCTOR
IN ZOOLOGY, NOT MEDICINE.
BUT MY GRANDDAUGHTER
IS POSSIBLE. MARISA.
AH ! SIGNORINA.
YOU ARE A DOCTOR
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE HURT ?
NOT YET. NOT FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
[ Groans ]
I'LL DO THE BEST I CAN.
[ Italian ]
[ Italian ]
[ Both Men Speaking ]
COME THIS WAY.
BE BACK AS SOON
AS I CAN, GRANDPA.
[ Italian ]
[ Italian ]
AH, GOOD AFTERNOON,
MY YOUNG MERCHANT FRIEND.
AND WHAT IS IT YOU WISH
TO SELL ME TODAY AT AN
EXORBITANT RATE, I'M CERTAIN ?
AN INEDIBLE CLAM WITH WHICH
YOU ARE WILLING TO PART FOR
VERY LITTLE MONEY, I AM SURE.
DR. LEONARDO,
YOU ARE A KIND MAN,
A JUST MAN,
A MAN OF MUCH LEARNING,
A MAN OF GREAT WEALTH.
A MAN OF WEALTH,
A PROFESSOR OF--
OF COURSE, PEPE.
COME ON IN, MY SICILIAN BANDIT,
AND WE'LL BARGAIN, HUH ?
[ Chuckles ]
COME ON.
YOU HAVE 200 LIRA ?
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY
THAT I HAVE SUCH A FORTUNE.
[ Groans ]
NOW, TELL ME.
LET ME SEE THIS GREAT TREASURE
OF SUCH GREAT VALUE.
COME ON.
YOU HAVE 200 LIRA WITH YOU
IN YOUR PURSE ?
UH-HUH. YES.
THAT IS A TRUE FACT ?
SURE, THAT IS
A TRUE FACT.
BUT NOW TELL ME.
WHY IS YOUR NEED SO GREA AND SO URGENT ?
BECAUSE WITH THE 200 LIRA,
I CAN PURCHASE A HAT FROM TEXAS.
HMM ?
PLEASE, MAY I HAVE
MY MONEY NOW ?
A HAT FROM TEXAS ?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
YOU, PEPE.
IT IS THE HA THE COWBOYS WEAR WHEN
THEY SHOOT THEBANDITO.
BANG, BANG !
AND THE MAN, HE IS DEAD.
[ Chuckles ]
THOSE AMERICAN MOVIES.
YEAH, IF SO GREAT IN NEED,
PEPE, YOU DESERVE
THE 200 LIRA.
[ Italian ]
NOW, LET ME SEE.
WHAT DO YOU GOT, HUH ?
HEY.
HEY ! I BETTER GET MY MONEY'S
WORTH, OR I'M COMING AFTER YOU.
BELIEVE ME.
[ Italian ]
PEPE !
PEPE !
PEPE ! PEPE !
-SI,DOCTOR ?
- PLEASE TELL ME, WHERE
DID YOU FIND THAT THING ?
IN THE WATER, DOCTOR !
IN THE SEA !
[ Groans ]
I KNOW. YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE.
IN GERRA.
GERRA ?
A VILLAGE IN SOUTHERN SICILY.
OH. ABOUT WHERE WE FIGURED.
[ Panting ]
THE OTHERS,
HOW ARE THEY ?
AS FAR AS I KNOW,
YOUR-- YOUR AIRCRAFT'S
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
WHOEVER ELSE WAS ON IT--
EXCEPT FOR THIS MAN.
HIS CONDITION IS CRITICAL.
I'M SORRY,
BUT YOU'RE IN NO CONDITION
TO GET OUT OF BED !
DOCTOR ?
DR. SHARMAN ?
I MUST ASK YOU TO LEAVE THIS MAN
ALONE. HE'S EXTREMELY ILL.
PLEASE. PLEASE.
- DR. SHARMAN, CAN YOU HEAR ME ?
- WILL YOU LEAVE THIS MAN ALONE
AND GO BACK TO YOUR BED !
LISTEN, NURSE, I AM IN
NO MOOD TO ARGUE WITH YOU !
I'M NOT A NURSE !
I'M A DOCTOR--
OR ALMOST A DOCTOR.
AND THIS MAN MAY BE DYING.
ALL RIGHT,
"ALMOST A DOCTOR,"
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM ?
-NO, NOT EXACTLY.
- WELL, I DO.
AND I KNOW IT'S FATAL.
EIGHT OF MY CREW HAVE
ALREADY DIED FROM IT.
NOW, IF YOU MUST STAY HERE,
STAND STILL AND
BE QUIET, PLEASE !
DOCTOR ? DR. SHARMAN,
CAN YOU HEAR ME ?
WILL YOU PLEASE LIE DOWN ?
PLEASE !
DOCTOR ?
ARE WE--
ARE WE GONNA MAKE IT--
MAKE IT BACK ?
WE ARE BACK.
WE ARE BACK.
- LOOK, YOU'RE SUFFERING FROM
EXHAUSTION. PLEASE GET BACK.
- QUIET !
THE ANIMAL SPECIMEN--
IS IT ALL RIGHT ?
I DON'T KNOW.
WE CRASHED INTO
THE MEDITERRANEAN, AND I GUESS
IT WENT DOWN WITH THE WRECK.
THE OTHERS ARE DEAD.
MAKE THEM-- MAKE THEM...
FIND IT.
MY-- MY NOTES.
DOCTOR ?
WILL YOU LIE DOWN ?
NURSE ! DOCTOR, HOW LONG
CAN IT LIVE ENCASED
IN THAT METAL CYLINDER ?
YOU MAKE A WONDERFUL PATIENT.
I'VE GOT TO KNOW.
IT'S OUR ONLY HOPE.
COURTEOUS, COOPERATIVE,
INFORMATIVE.
DOCTOR ? DOCTOR ?
ALTOGETHER, A JOY AND
A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND.
NOW, WHAT SPECIMEN ?
WHAT FATAL DISEASE ?
WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT ?
I'M SORRY.
I MEAN IT.
BUT I CAN'T.
CAN'T OR WON'T ?
BOTH.
[ Panting Stops ]
HE'S DEAD.
I KNOW.
BETTER GET SOME SLEEP.
PLEASANT DREAMS.
[ Whimpers ]
GRANDPA ?
GRANDPA !
WHAT IS IT ?
MY GLOVES--
WHERE ARE MY GLOVES ?
UNDER THE TABLE.
WHAT IS IT ?
WHERE'D IT COME FROM ?
PEPE, THE LITTLE
FISHER BOY.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE THIS BEFORE.
NO SCIENTIFIC RECORD
OF SUCH A CREATURE.
LOOK AT THE TORSO.
THE TORSO'S THA OF A HUMAN BEING.
AND-- AND THE ARTICULATION
ON THE LEGS.
LOOK AT IT !
LOOK AT IT !
BUT FROM WHERE ?
[ Whimpers ]
THE CAGE.
THE CAGE, MARISA.
SOFTEN THE FLOOR, MARISA.
THE FLOORING OF THE CAGE
IS ROUGH AND HARD.
[ Marisa ]
IT'S SO VERY UGLY.
AND YET, IT SEEMS
SO FRIGHTENED.
[ Whimpering ]
COME INSIDE,
MIA CARA.
MARISA, COME.
[ Screeching ]
MARISA !
MARISA !
WHAT IS IT, GRANDPA ?
COME HERE.
COME HERE.
OBSERVE.
OBSERVE OUR STRANGE FRIEND.
LOOK AT HOW MUCH HE HAS GROWN
IN BUT A FEW HOURS.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE !
THINK, MARISA.
THINK OF WHAT WILL BE SAID
WHEN I BRING THIS
STRANGE CREATURE...
TO THEGIARDINO ZOOLOGICAL
INROMA.
NOW I'M GOING
TO THE VILLAGE,
AND I'M GOING TO SEE
THE YOUNG FISHER BOY...
AND LEARN FROM HIM
WHERE IN THE SEA IT WAS
THAT HE FOUND OUR FRIEND.
POW !
POW !
VERRICO, MONDELLO.
[ Italian ]
CAN YOU INFORM ME
OF THE WHEREABOUTS
OF THE BOY PEPE ?
PEPE ? HE'S RIGHT OVER HERE
PLAYING LIKE A TEXAS COWBOY.
WHERE ?
OH, HE HAS GONE.
YET HE WAS HERE
A FEW MOMENTS AGO.
BUT I WILL SEE HIM TONIGHT,
DOTTORE,AND I WILL TELL HIM
TO SEEK YOU TOMORROW.
TOMORROW
I WON'T BE HERE.
I'M JUST NOW
ON MY WAY TO ROME.
[ Italian ]
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[ Whispering ]
POW, POW, POW !
WELCOME TO GERRA.
MAY I INTRODUCE MYSELF,
GENERAL ?
I'M THECOMMISSARIO
OF THE POLICE.
THANK YOU.
THIS IS DR. UHL.
[ Italian ]
IT'S A PLEASURE.
HOW DO YOU DO ?
FROM THE GOVERNMENT IN ROME
I RECEIVED A TELEGRAM.
I'M TO COOPERATE WITH YOU.
I'M AT YOUR SERVICE,
SIGNORI.
NOW, IF YOU WILL COME
WITH ME, I WILL TAKE YOU
TO COLONEL CALDER.
HE'S NOT BADLY HURT ?
OH, NO, GENERAL.
DON'T YOU WORRY.
HE RECOVERS QUICKLY.
IT'S ALL I COULD DO
TO KEEP HIM FROM COMING
TO MEET YOU HIMSELF.
THIS WAY, PLEASE.
CONGRATULATIONS, BOB.
YOU MADE IT.
YOU MADE IT !
THE FIRST MAN
IN OUR HISTORY.
HOW DOES IT FEEL ?
FINE, SIR, EXCEPT THAT--
WELL--
YES, I KNOW.
IT'S TRAGIC THE OTHERS
DIED IN THE MOMEN OF THEIR GLORY.
BUT STILL, AND I MEAN IT,
YOU DESERVE CONGRATULATIONS.
MINE, TOO, BOB.
YOU DID A MAGNIFICENT,
HEROIC JOB.
IS THERE SOMEPLACE
WHERE WE CAN TALK PRIVATELY ?
MY OFFICE IS YOURS, GENERAL.
THIS WAY, PLEASE.
[ Man ]
ATTENZIONE. THECOMMISSARIO
IS BEING BRIEFED IN HIS OFFICE.
[ Italian ]
I'M HONORED, SIGNORE.
GENTLEMEN,
MAY I INTRODUCE...
SIGNOR CONTINO
FROM THE ITALIAN
DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
GENERAL McINTOSH.
SIGNOR.
COLONEL CALDER.
HI.
DR. UHL.
HOW DO YOU DO, SIR ?
I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR COMING SO PROMPTLY, SIGNOR.
AND I WANT TO THANK YOUR
GOVERNMENT FOR EXPRESSING
ITS DESIRE TO COOPERATE.
I MUST BEG YOU, HOWEVER,
FOR THE MOMENT,
TO OBSERVE STRICT SECRECY.
IT IS UNDERSTOOD.
WHAT I HAVE TO SAY
YOU WILL FIND INCREDIBLE...
BUT TRUE.
COLONEL CALDER HERE
HAS JUST RETURNED...
FROM AN EXPEDITION
TO VENUS.
TO VENICE.
PERHAPS YOU MEAN VENEZIA.
TO VENUS-- THE PLANET VENUS.
- "THE PLANET VENUS" ?
- THAT IS CORRECT.
I WAS INFORMED
THIS MATTER WAS CONNECTED
WITH SOMETHING VAST,
BUT THE-- THE PLANET VENUS ?
MAN'S FIRS INTERPLANETARY VOYAGE.
ON THE RETURN TRIP,
THE SPACESHIP WAS CRIPPLED
BY A METEOR.
EXCEPT FOR COLONEL CALDER HERE,
THE ENTIRE CREW PERISHED.
- I AM GRIEVED.
- THE PROBLEM THAT CONFRONTS US
IS THIS, SIGNOR--
THE ATMOSPHERE ON VENUS IS
SUCH THAT A HUMAN BEING CANNO BREATHE AND SURVIVE FOR LONG,
EVEN AFTER USING WHA WE CONSIDERED FOOLPROOF
RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT.
SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE
EXPEDITION DIED THERE BEFORE
THE OTHERS REALIZED THE DANGER.
AND DR. SHARMAN,
THE CHIEF SCIENTIST,
ALSO BECAME FATALLY ILL.
HE DIED HERE
AFTER THE SHIP CRASHED.
FASCINATING.
HORRIBLE, BUT FASCINATING.
NOW, ON THAT SHIP
WAS A PARTICULAR SEALED
METAL CONTAINER.
IN IT IS AN UNBORN SPECIMEN OF
THE ANIMAL LIFE ON THE PLANET.
WE'VE GOT TO FIND IT.
OUR TASK IS TO DISCOVER
IN WHAT PHYSIOLOGICAL WAY...
LIFE IS ABLE TO SURVIVE
AND TO FLOURISH THERE.
NOT UNTIL THAT SECRE IS LEARNED CAN ANOTHER
EXPEDITION EXPECT TO RETURN.
AND RETURN WE MUST.
FOR ON VENUS IMPORTANT MINERALS
WERE DISCOVERED...
THAT WOULD BE A VAST BENEFI TO OUR OWN CIVILIZATION.
I'M AT YOUR DISPOSAL, GENERAL.
IN WHAT WAY MAY I ASSIST YOU ?
WE NEED DIVERS-- SEVERAL DIVERS
TO DESCEND TO THE WRECK
TO SEARCH FOR THE SPECIMEN.
THEY WILL BE HERE
IN THE MORNING.
DON'T YOU WANT ME TO DRIVE
FOR A WHILE ?
NO.
[ Italian ]
BUONA FORTUNA.
GRAZIE.
AND NOW, SIGNORCOMMISSARIO,
I SHOULD LIKE TO SPEAK
TO THE TWO FISHERMEN
WHO WENT ABOARD THE WRECK.
OF COURSE, GENERAL.
I HAVE THEM WAITING.
NOW, IF YOU WILL
COME WITH ME, PLEASE.
VERRICO, MONDELLO.
ONE MOMENT OF YOUR TIME, PLEASE.
SI, SIGNOR COMMISSARIO ?
GENERAL, THIS IS VERRICO,
AND THIS IS MONDELLO.
THEY ARE THE TWO MEN
WHO WENT INSIDE THE SHIP
BEFORE SHE SANK.
THE AMERICAN GENERAL
WISHES TO SPEAK TO YOU...
OF AN ITEM
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.
WE ARE LOOKING
FOR A CYLINDER...
ABOUT THIS HIGH
AND ABOUT THIS ROUND.
VERY PROBABLY IT WENT DOWN
WITH THE SHIP,
BUT THERE'S ALWAYS
THE POSSIBILITY THA IT WAS KNOCKED LOOSE...
AND MAY DRIFT ASHORE SOMEWHERE
TODAY, TOMORROW-- WHO KNOWS.
IT IS SO IMPORTAN THAT WE RECOVER THIS CONTAINER
AND ITS CONTENTS...
THAT I HAVE OFFERED A REWARD
OF A HALF-MILLION LIRA.
PLEASE SPREAD THAT INFORMATION
AROUND TODAY.
YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY HAT.
SILENZIO. THE GENERAL
IS SPEAKING. CONTINUE, GENERAL.
[ Calder ] WAIT.
WHAT IS IT, SON ?
WHAT IS IT YOU WISH TO SAY ?
IT IS ONLY IF I SPEAK
OF THE THING FROM THE SHIP...
THAT YOU MUST PROMISE TO ME
THAT I MAY KEEP MY HA FROM THE GREAT COUNTRY OF TEXAS.
WELL, OF COURSE YOU MAY KEEP
YOUR HAT. WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE BIG CONTAINER ?
AND THERE IS A MATTER
OF A HALF-A-MILLION LIRA.
HOW MUCH IS THAT ?
SUFFICIENT TO PURCHASE
FOR ME A COWBOY HORSE
LIKE THEY RIDE IN TEXAS ?
ENOUGH TO BUY MANY HORSES.
NOW, WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE BIG CONTAINER ?
YOU PROMISE TO ME ABOUT THE HAT,
ABOUT THE HORSES ?
YOU HAVE MY PROMISE, SON.
IT IS THERE.
COME ON. FOLLOW ME.
PLEASE, MAY I HAVE
MY HORSE NOW ?
EMPTY.
BUT I KNOW WHERE IT IS,
THE THING FROM INSIDE.
WHERE IS IT ?
I TOOK IT TO THE
PROFESSOR LEONARDO AND
SOLD IT TO HIM FOR 200 LIRA.
THAT IS HOW I HAVE THE HA FROM TEXAS.
PROFESSOR LEONARDO,
WHERE IS HE ?
HE MUST BE SOMEWHERE
ON THE ROAD TO MESSINA.
HE SAID HE WAS GOING TOROMA
-HOW WILL WE FIND HIM ?
-HE DRIVES A TRUCK WITH A HOUSE
THAT FOLLOWS LIKE A GOAT.
A TRAILER.
FIND IT AS QUICKLY
AS YOU CAN.
I'LL WAIT HERE
FOR THE DIVERS.
YES, SIR. COME ON, DOC.
WOULD YOU AND YOUR MEN
ACCOMPANY THE COLONEL ?
OF COURSE, GENERAL.
BESIDES, I HAVE TO SEE
A MAN ABOUT A HORSE.
AND A HALF-A-MILLION LIRA.
WHAT ?
THE CANVAS HAS COME LOOSE.
I BETTER STOP THEN.
YOU KNOW, IT OCCURS
TO ME THAT OUR FRIEND
IS PERHAPS A MUTATION.
BUT OF WHAT SPECIES,
I DO NOT KNOW.
HERE, YOU CATCH THIS
ON THE OTHER SIDE, PLEASE.
THERE'S ALSO THE POSSIBILITY
THAT IT MIGHT BE A TYPE
OF THROWBACK TOWARD...
A PREHISTORIC AND UNKNOWN--
[ Screaming ]
[ Screeching ]
[ Screaming ]
[ Roaring ]
[ Roaring Continues ]
ARE YOU HURT ?
NO, I-I DON'T THINK SO.
I GUESS I FRIGHTENED I AS MUCH AS IT FRIGHTENED ME.
BUT ITS CLAW WAS
SO STRANGELY HOT.
[ Vehicles Approaching ]
I BEG YOUR PARDON,
BUT YOU MUST BE--
COMMISSARIO !
A STRANGE ANIMAL ESCAPED.
A STRANGE ANIMAL, LIKE SOMETHING
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE ?
LIKE SOMETHING NO ONE
HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE.
- IT BROKE OUT OF ITS CAGE
AND GRABBED ME BY THE ARM.
- HELLO, "ALMOST A DOCTOR."
[ Sighs ]
THIS CREATURE,
TELL ME ABOUT IT.
WELL, FIRS IT WAS THIS HIGH.
THEN THIS HIGH.
NOW IT IS TALL.
NEARLY AS TALL AS A MAN.
IS THAT THE NORMAL RATE
OF GROWTH ?
NO, NOT AS FAR
AS I KNOW.
THE ONLY DATA WE HAVE
IS IN DR. SHARMAN'S NOTES.
WHERE'S THE ANIMAL NOW ?
IT FLED INTO THE WOOD.
LET'S GO.
PLEASE, PLEASE,
WAIT, WAIT. TELL ME,
WHAT IS THAT CREATURE ?
WHERE DOES IT COME FROM ?
I MUST KNOW.
WE'LL GO WITH YOU.
I'M SORRY, PROFESSOR.
I CAN'T NOW.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
WELL, LOOKS AS THOUGH
MY PATIENT HAS FULLY RECOVERED.

DON'T MOVE.

LET'S BACK OUT QUIETLY.
[ Roars ]
INCREDIBLE.
THE CREATURE HAS TO BE
TAKEN ALIVE.
THERE'S A CART OUTSIDE.
WOULD YOU HAVE YOUR MEN
BRING IT IN THE BARN ?
[ Italian ]
NOW WILL YOU GET ME
A LONG WOODEN POLE ?
I'VE HAD NIGHTMARES IN MY TIME,
BUT I'VE NEVER DREAMED
OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
ACTUALLY, THEY'RE NO FEROCIOUS UNLESS
THEY'RE PROVOKED.
THAT POOR DOG
MUST'VE JUMPED HIM FIRST.
THAT'S GOOD.
[ Roars ]
THAT'S JUST WHAT I NEED.
GRAZIE.
NOW, I'M GONNA TRY AND
PROD THE CREATURE RIGH INTO THAT CART.
IF I CAN GET HIM IN THERE,
BE READY TO SHUT THAT GATE.
[ Screeches ]
COME ON DOWN, FELLA.
JUMP.
COME ON.
COME ON.
OKAY, COME ON DOWN.
COME ON.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON.
COME ON DOWN.
COME ON.
COME ON.
[ Roars ]
GET BACK.

[ Screams ]
[ Creature Roaring ]
[ Roaring Continues ]
[ Banging ]
ALL RIGHT, MEN.
OVER THIS WAY !
[ Italian ]
I DON'T LIKE IT !
COLONEL ?
YEAH ?
I HATE TO INTRUDE
ON YOUR PRECIOUS
PRIVATE THOUGHTS,
BUT I'D LIKE TO CHANGE
THE BANDAGE ON YOUR ARM.
OH.
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOU WHAT HAPPENED TODAY--
ABOUT WHERE THE CREATURE
IS TONIGHT, AREN'T YOU ?
WE'LL FIND HIM.
WE'VE GOT TO.
I GUESS I'VE BEEN PRETTY
INCONSIDERATE AND SELF-CENTERED.
YOU'VE HAD A LO ON YOUR MIND.
IF THAT'S AN APOLOGY,
I THINK IT WENT IN
THE WRONG DIRECTION.
ALL YOU'VE DONE
IS TRY TO HELP.
ALL I'VE DONE
IS SNARL AT YOU.
I HOPE WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER
YOU'LL LET ME TRY TO
MAKE IT UP TO YOU...
OVER A TABLE FOR TWO
IN A DARK CAFE.
WITH A CANDLE BURNING
ON THE TABLE ?
AND A BOTTLE OF WINE.
BOB. BOB CALDER.
EXCUSE ME.
HERE'S SOMETHING, BOB.
SHARMAN WROTE THAT THE DIET OF
THESE CREATURES IS RAW SULFUR.
I REMEMBER THAT MUCH.
THERE ARE RICH SULFUR BEDS
IN SICILY,
NOT MANY KILOMETERS
FROM HERE AT THE BASE
OF MOUNT ETNA.
WE'LL SCOUR THAT MOUNTAIN AREA
AS SOON AS IT'S LIGHT.
IF THE CREATURE'S THERE,
WE'LL RECAPTURE IT.
AT THAT TIME I WOULD CONSIDER
IT AN HONOR TO OFFER
THE FACILITIES...
OF THEGIARDINO ZOOLOGICAL
INROMAFOR ITS OBSERVATION
AND EXAMINATION.
THAT WILL NO BE NECESSARY, GENTLEMEN.
- THERE IS NO LONGER TIME TO
RECAPTURE THE MONSTER ALIVE.
- I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I MUST INFORM YOU, SIGNORE,
THAT THERE IS NO MORE
COOPERATION BETWEEN US.
THE BEAST MUST BE DESTROYED.
HE HAS INJURED ONE MAN BADLY...
AND HE MIGHT KILL OTHERS.
MY DUTIES ARE TO THE WELFARE
OF MY PEOPLE, NOT THIS
CRAZY SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT.
COMMISSARIO,
YOU CAN'T DO THAT !
COMMISSARIO ?
SIGNORE, PLEASE WAIT.
[ Italian ]
SIGNORE--
GET IN.
THAT IS MY POSITION.
THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE
IN THIS DISTRICT IS MY AFFAIR--
MY PRIMARY AFFAIR
AS LONG AS I'MCOMMISSARIO.
MAYBE YOU CAN HAVE ME REPLACED.
THAT, OF COURSE,
IS YOUR PRIVILEGE.
UNTIL THEN, I WILL FUNCTION
ASCOMMISSARIO.
YOU ARE AN EFFICIENT MAN,
SIGNORE.
A MAN OF SINCERITY.
THERE WILL BE NO THOUGH OF REPLACING YOU.
THEN I MUST SAY, AT DAYBREAK,
I INTEND TO USE EVERY MEANS
AT MY DISPOSAL...
TO DESTROY THAT CREATURE
BEFORE HE KILLS SOMEONE.
BUT YOU CAN'T DO THAT !
BOB ?
YES, SIR ?
MAY I REMIND YOU THECOMMISSARIO
IS A SICILIAN POLICE CHIEF...
PERFORMING THE DUTIES
OF HIS OFFICE.
I KNOW THAT, SIR, BUT--
BUT WHAT ?
WOULD THERE BE ANY OBJECTION
IF DR. UHL AND I TRIED TO TRACK
THIS ANIMAL AND TAKE IT ALIVE ?
BEFORE THECOMMISSARIO
HAS HIM DESTROYED ?
NOT FOR ME. SIGNOR CONTINO ?
HOW DO YOU PROPOSE
TO DO THIS ?
ON VENUS, WE DISCOVERED
QUITE BY ACCIDENT...
THAT THESE CREATURES
ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE
TO ELECTRIC SHOCK...
AND THAT CONTROLLED VOLTAGE
CAN PARALYZE THEM.
NOW, IF WE COULD HAVE
TWO HELICOPTERS AND A SQUAD
OF ARMED PARATROOPERS,
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DROP
AN ELECTRICALLY CHARGED
WIRE NET ON THE BEAST.
A NET.
ALL I ASK, SIR,
IS PERMISSION TO TRY.
IF-- IF THIS CAN
BE DONE...
BEFORE ANY HUMAN LIFE
IS THREATENED,
THE ITALIAN GOVERNMEN WILL HAVE NO OBJECTION.
ALL RIGHT, BOB,
YOU SHALL HAVE YOUR COPTERS.
THANK YOU, SIR.
THANK YOU, SIGNOR.
THE HOOK'S
WORKING FINE, SIR.
THAT'S GOOD, SERGEANT.
TAKES THOSE SACKS OF SULFUR
OVER TO THE OTHER COPTER.
LOOK. WE'RE TAKING OVER
A LOAD OF SULFUR TO FEED OUR
PRISONER WHEN WE CAPTURE HIM.
IF THECOMMISSARIO
DOESN'T CAPTURE IT FIRST.
YEAH.
[ Barking ]
[ Italian ]
-DOC, THIS IS LIKE A PARACHUTE.
IT'S GOTTA WORK THE FIRST TIME.
-RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, MEN, LOAD UP.
LET'S GO.
[ Barking ]
[ Roars ]
[ Italian ]
[ Roars ]
[ Italian ]
[ Gunshots ]
LET'S USE THE BACK ROAD
THROUGH THE WATERFALL.

[ Screeching ]

GOOD MORNING,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
OF THE PRESS.
I AM FULLY AWARE
OF THE RUMORS...
THAT BEGAN
WITH AN AIR CRASH
TEN DAYS AGO...
OFF THE COAS OF SICILY.
NOT UNTIL NOW HAVE I
RECEIVED PERMISSION...
TO MAKE KNOWN THE FACTS
EXACTLY AS THEY ARE.
THIS CABLEGRAM
HAS BEEN SIGNED...
BY THE UNITED STATES
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.
"IN THE FACE
OF WIDESPREAD SPECULATION,
"AND AFTER CONSULTATION
WITH VARIOUS
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS,
"THE PRESIDENT HAS
AUTHORIZED RELEASE
OF ALL INFORMATION...
"TO PRESS AND NEWS AGENCIES
FOR THEIR IMMEDIATE
PUBLICATION.
"THE AIRSHIP XY-21,
"WHICH CRASHED INTO
THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
ON THE 11th,
"WAS A SINGLE-STAGE,
ASTRO-PROPELLED ROCKET...
"LAUNCHED 13 MONTHS AGO
FROM A SITE WITHIN
THE UNITED STATES.
"THE ROCKET, WITH ITS
COMPLEMENT OF 17 MEN,
"HAD LANDED
ON THE PLANET VENUS--
VENUS ?
THE PLANET VENUS ?
"HAD LANDED
ON THE PLANET VENUS...
"AND WAS ON THE RETURN
FLIGHT TO EARTH...
WHEN THE SHIP
PLUNGED INTO THE SEA."
THERE WAS ONE SURVIVOR--
COLONEL CALDER,
SEATED BESIDE ME,
COMMANDER
OF THE EXPEDITION.
SOME OF YOU MAY ALSO
HAVE HEARD THE STORY...
OF A MONSTER NOW CONFINED
HERE IN ROME'S ZOO.
THAT BEAST IS FROM VENUS.
IT IS AN ESSENTIAL OBJEC OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY...
IF MAN IS TO SURVIVE
THE ATMOSPHERE ON VENUS,
POISONOUS TO HUMANS.
MAY WE BE ALLOWED
TO SEE THIS CREATURE ?
I ASKED YOU CORRESPONDENTS
TO SELECT THREE
OF YOUR NUMBER...
TO ACCOMPANY
COLONEL CALDER
TO THE ZOO.
THOSE SELECTED BY YOU
WILL, OF COURSE,
POOL THEIR INTERVIEWS
WITH THE ENTIRE
PRESS CORPS,
AND WE WILL FURNISH YOU
ALL NECESSARY PHOTOS.
WELL, I GUESS
THAT'S ALL,
AND THANK YOU
FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

THE SIZE.
EIGHT DAYS AGO,
IT WAS ABOU THISTALL.
HOW DO YOU ACCOUN FOR ITS ASTONISHING
RATE OF GROWTH ?
OR IS THAT NORMAL
ON VENUS ?
NO, IT ISN'T.
THE SCIENTISTS HERE
BELIEVE EARTH'S
ATMOSPHERE...
HAS UPSE ITS METABOLIC RATE.
THE MORE AIR IT BREATHES,
THE MORE TISSUE IT BUILDS,
THE BIGGER IT GETS.
IF YOU'LL
FOLLOW ME,
PLEASE.
YOU'VE UNDOUBTEDLY HEARD
OF DR. GERHARD BLANKFOR OF VIENNA,
PROBABLY THE WORLD'S
TOP MAN IN ANESTHESIA.
IT'S THE DOCTOR'S JOB
TO KEEP THE CREATURE
UNCONSCIOUS...
DURING THE EXAMINATION.
NOW, YOU'LL NOTE THE WIRE
RUNNING DOWN
TO THE CREATURE'S WRIST.
DR. BLANKFORT KEEPS
COURSING THROUGH THE BODY.
MORE VOLTAGE,
AND IT WOULD DIE.
LESS, AND I WOULD AWAKEN.
AMAZING.
UTTERLY AMAZING.
YOU CAN GET A BETTER LOOK
AT THE WRIST CONNECTION
THIS WAY.
THIS IS DR. KOROKU
OF THE UNIVERSITY
OF TOKYO.
HE'S ASSISTING
DR. UHL.
ANOTHER ATTEMP TO PRY SECRETS FROM
THE CREATURE, DOCTOR ?
WE HOPE THIS
ELECTRODYNAMOMETER...
WILL ENABLE US TO
COMPLETE OUR EXAMINATION
OF AURAL PASSAGES.
COULD YOU GIVE US ANY
POSITIVE STATEMENT...
ON YOUR PROGRESS
SO FAR, DOCTOR ?
SO FAR, WE HAVE COME
TO ONE CONCLUSION.
THE CREATURE'S
OLFACTORY SYSTEM
IS MORE HIGHLY DEVELOPED...
THAN ANY KNOWN
ON THIS PLANET.
YOU'LL FIND DR. UHL
ON THE PLATFORM.
HE'S THE MAN
IN CHARGE.
[ Labored Breathing ]
SIXTY-SEVEN CC's.
CORRECT ?
SI, ESATTAMENTE,
SESSANTA SETTE.
THEY'RE FEEDING THE CREATURE
A COMPOUND OF SULFUR.
NOW, SULFUR SERVES I AS OUR VITAMINS DO US.
GRANDPA, UM, WILL YOU
NEED ME ANYMORE ?
NO, NO.
GRAZIE.
YOU CAUGHT ME
UNPREPARED.
I'VE BEEN COOKING
OVER A HOT CREATURE
ALL DAY.
YOU'RE GETTING LOVELIER
EVERY TIME I SEE YOU.
OR IS IT THE LIGHTS
IN THIS ROOM ?
WELL, NEXT TO THAT,
I LOOK DANDY.
OH, COLONEL.
WHEN YOU HAVE
A FREE MOMENT,
I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU
ABOUT THE LATES NIGHTMARE I'VE HAD.
I'M NOT BUSY
FOR THE MOMENT.
TELL ME NOW.
WELL,
IT CONCERNS
A DARK CAFE,
A SMALL TABLE,
A BOTTLE OF WINE--
AND A BURNING CANDLE ?
MM-HMM.
AND THAT CANDLE'S
BURNING LOWER
AND LOWER AND LOWER.
PRETTY SOON,
IT'S GONNA BURN OUT.
WELL, MAYBE IF WE HURRY,
WE CAN FIND THAT DARK CAFE
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
GOOD.
NOW DON'T GO AWAY.
I WON'T.
IF YOU'LL COME
OVER HERE, PLEASE.
DR. UHL'S
EXPECTING YOU.
DR. UHL, MAY I PRESEN MISS REYNOLDS--
UNITED PRESS.
MR. MAPLES OF REUTERS,
MONSIEUR LeGRANDE--
NEWS FRANCE.
GLAD TO MEET YOU.
HOW DO YOU DO ?
GENERAL McINTOSH
HAS TOLD US
THE IMPORTANCE...
OF KNOWING
HOW THIS ANIMAL
SURVIVES ON VENUS.
WE'VE DISCOVERED
THAT THE CREATURE'S
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM...
INCLUDES A FIBROUS
FILTERING ELEMEN WHICH BLOCKS OUT...
ALL OF THE POISONOUS
VAPORS ON VENUS.
FORTUNATELY,
WE'VE BEEN ABLE...
TO DUPLICATE THAT SYSTEM
ALMOST EXACTLY.
IT'S LIKE
A PLASTIC SPONGE.
IT IS MADE OF ONE
OF THE NEW SYNTHETICS.
BY THE WAY, DOCTOR,
THERE'S A RUMOR
GOING AROUND...
THAT GUNFIRE
HAS NO EFFEC ON THE BEAST. WHY ?
THIS BEAS HAS NO HEART,
AND IT HAS NO LUNGS.
IT HAS, INSTEAD,
A NETWORK
OF SMALL TUBES...
THROUGHOU ITS ENTIRE BODY.
HENCE, FIREARMS
EFFECT NO GREAT DAMAGE.
YES ?
THE DYNAMOMETER'S COMING
ON THE PLATFORM NOW.
PLEASE,
