| | Godzilla, King of the Monsters |
 | | Godzilla, King of the Monsters is an 80-minute, 1956, American fl-and-white science-fiction film adapted from the 1954 Japanese film "Gojira", which had previously been shown in the United States with subtitles in Japanese community theaters only, and was not known in Europe. |
 | | The film was distributed in the western USA by Godzilla Releasing Corp. and in the eastern half by Joseph Levine's Embassy Pictures Corporation, then just a Boston-based states rights exchange. |
 | | Martin's involvement in the unfolding events broadens when Dr. Yamane (Takashi Shimura, of the original film), a paleontologist is consulted and, returning to the island with his daughter (Momoko Kouchi) and her young naval-officer boyfriend (Akiro Takarada) to investigate, sees the monster when it attacks the island village. |
