	Gorgo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gorgo is a 1961 British science fiction variation on Godzilla (with hints of King Kong).
		The scientists examine Gorgo, and conclude that he is not yet an adult, and that his mother must be nearly 200 feet tall.
		Gorgo's special effects are crude by contemporary standards, and are often mocked when the film is reviewed by modern fans.

	Gorgophone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gorgo was born about 507 B.C. After her father's rather awful death she married his brother, Leonidas, who became king and was the hero of the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. Like her namesake Gorgophone, Gorgo remarried another Spartan king, and spawned yet another.
		Gorgo herself was renowned in Spartan legend, and it is curious that she bore the name that was so closely identified with the legendary Perseus and his daughter, who, if they really lived, pre-dated Gorgo by over seven centuries.
		Plutarch's works contain a good deal on Gorgo, and she appears in a couple of Herodotus's anecdotes that emphasize her close ties with her father and his trust in her acuity of judgement.

	Gorgo
		Gorgo is the uninspired tale of a man in a bad rubber suit knocking down a bunch of flimsy models of British landmarks.
		Gorgo has finally gotten back from work and is wondering what happened to her kid.
		Gorgo ignores the fighter jets trying to shoot her down and she sinks a British destroyer like it was a Japanese trawler in the way of submarine joyride.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Gorgo (1961)
		That his predictions come true and that Gorgo is the only character with a reasonably happy ending establishes the principle that Kenny Knows What Will Happen, and he shall have access to people in authority who will (usually) ignore his recommendations.
		Gorgo is put on display at Dorkin's (snicker) Circus in London, billed as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
		The film has fine special effects, though the smaller scale buildings (Gorgo is about twice the size of the original Godzilla) don't crumble quite as convincingly as Eiji Tsubaraya's models.

	MusicGorgo
		Gorgo’s orchestration is prominent in the brass, featuring up to 4 horns, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, and a tuba, as well as a healthy dose of organ and colorful effects from vibraphone, harp, and xylophone, something common in Lavagnino’s scores.
		Interestingly, there is no oboe in Gorgo, and whether this was due to budgetary considerations or because this plaintive instrument might have added a bittersweet tinge to this otherwise positive score, we’ll probably never know.
		Gorgo’s score was conducted by the esteemed Muir Mathieson, who provides the appropriate sense of grandeur.

		In Gorgo, the stop-motion animation of the two great masters was replaced by the Tokyo approach.
		Once in London, Gorgo is examined by a scientist who informs its owners that it is in fact an infant dinosaur.
		Baby Gorgo attacking a diving bell; the infant's attack on the Irish fishing village, and being repelled by fire wielding townsfolk; Gorgo's head rising from the foggy night sea while the camera zooms in for a close up.

	Gorgo
		The last of the great monster-invades-the-city film classics, Gorgo is noted for a number of things.
		The animated menu on the DVD is outstanding as Gorgo looms over the city at night, and breathes fire when we select a menu item.
		While the film suffers from color fading and harsh contrast in some scenes, it is a disc classic monster film lovers will want to add to their collection.

	DVD Verdict Review - Gorgo
		The creature, dubbed "Gorgo," is caught and is all the buzz throughout the London area.
		Local scientists, however, determine that the giant Gorgo is actually an infant and is likely to be pursued and rescued by its mother, a creature certain to be ten times larger.
		Most interesting in the overall narrative is the fact that the titular creature(s) are not enraged by radiation provoked by military prodding but, rather, are merely working on survival instinct upon being separated.

	FilmGorgo
		When Gorgo is captured and its mother discovers Junior is missing, the angry Mamasaurus comes to the rescue, sinking ships and destroying London until she frees her child and they both return to their home in the sea.
		Gorgo’s man-in-a-suit monster is inferior to most stop-motion dinosaurs, but better than many of its type.
		Gorgo is about man’s plundering of the environment, as personified by the islanders who steal the pirates’ treasures, as well as the two lead characters who abduct Gorgo from his home in the sea.

	XXXVIII. Gorgo, örnen. I fångenskapen (Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige)
		Gorgo var bara tre åt gammal och hade ännu inte tänkt på att skaffa sig hustru och bli bofast, när han en dag blev fångad av en jägare och såld till Skansen.
		Medan pojken talade, såg han, att Gorgo vände bort blickarna och började stirra rätt ut i luften på samma sätt som förut.
		Gorgo försjönk i sömn, men när han vaknade nästa morgon, såg han genast, att en mängd trådar hade blivit avfilade.

	Salvare il padre: "Il gorgo" di Beppe Fenoglio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Gorgo non potrebbe essere più (neo)realistica: mondo contadino, figli in guerra (d’Abissinia), malattia, miseria, disperazione.
		Gorgo Fenoglio invia tutti i segnali necessari per far capire al lettore che sta leggendo un testo di grande spessore letterario – e quindi morale-civile, in quegli anni – ambientato nella terra che costituisce l’orizzonte di tutta la sua produzione.
		Gorgo, ha per Fenoglio un diretto riferimento autobiografico, presenta anch’egli, pur in forma attenuata, tratti di angoscia e impotenza di fronte agli eventi.

		This proves to be a major mistake when Gorgo's even larger mother lumbers to the surface in search of her cute li'l baby.
		GORGO is an exception to the travesties in the 60's concerning atomically-created monstrosities of evil- or good.
		Scenes in which the baby Gorgo is driven through London were shot on a Sunday morning, which meant hardly anyone was in the streets.

	Gorgo
		Gorgo hails from what may be the most unlikely of all countries of origin for this sort of movie-- it could best be described as the English Godzilla.
		Then Ma Gorgo comes ashore and knocks down the Tower Bridge and Big Ben while paying almost no attention to the hundreds of tanks and infantrymen pouring ammo into her.
		I’m not going to give away the ending, because Gorgo was, at the time, the only big rubber monster movie yet made that ended quite the way it does.

	Gorgo
		Dorkin (honestly; that's his name) answers the reference to "Gorgo as he's called--we don't know why," with mention of the Greek Gorgons, and bills the 65-foot creature as "the eighth wonder of the world" (tres Kong!) and "heavier than six elephants"--all for five shillings.
		Despite the video box summary announcing that "Papa Gorgo comes thundering ashore," the film refers to the adult as "she"; so the one significant female in the film is a destructive menace.
		The "Gorgo," as the video box declares, "is quite ferocious--except when he wiggles his ears." Actually, the thing lumbers, and generally moves and holds its arms in a manner strikingly reminiscent of Sammy Davis Jr.

		I first saw 'Gorgo' as a kid, when it was released theatrically in 1961--in fact, I went to see it several times.
		Actually, Gorgo does and amazing job with its special effects considering that it is a forty-one year old movie.

	Gorgo DVD
		GORGO showed up on TV in the 1970s and early 1980’s, but it soon disappeared (AMC aired it a few times in the 1990’s).
		In spite of the visions of Eugene Lourie, and the painstaking artistry of the cinema technicians, GORGO fails in its attempt to add a new human dimension (except for the conclusion) to the classic monster scenario.
		The film’s denouement, with the triumphant adult Gorgo returning to sea with its infant, is both refreshing and moving.

		The Roan Group has remastered Gorgo from a 35mm print, and the film is presented in its original 1:66 to 1 screen ratio.
		Sadly, this version is rather dark, and some of the visuals (which were quite striking in their time) suffer as a consequence.
		In spite of the fact that Gorgo is a technological dinosaur in terms of special effects, the monsters are more believable and winning than the human characters in Spielberg's Lost World, and kids are almost guaranteed to love it.

	Attack of the 50 Foot DVD: Gorgo (1961)
		This tale of a giant dino turned circus attraction is not the most finely crafted movie ever made, but if monster fans insisted upon the ultimate in special effects, most of the Godzilla movies would never have been made.
		The villains are a bit harder to point out in Gorgo than in the Japanese kaiju films; one can hardly blame the leaders of a salvage crew for trying to capture Gorgo when the critter threatens the entire population of an Irish coastal village.
		Gorgo stomps behind a simple cityscape until you choose an option (the highlight visual is a set of flames atop each building).

	Prawn Bites - How many goes could a Gorgo go... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Gorgo starts smashing London's famous landmarks their plywood construction becomes a little too obvious (or maybe it's just the fact that I see the real ones more often - I was in the vicinity of Big Ben and Tower Bridge just a couple of days ago).
		Gorgo's short career as a circus freak is straight out of King Kong, London's devastation is (obviously) ripped wholesale from Godzilla, and Lourié even has the cheek to steal bits from The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms - the diving bell scenes in the two movies are damn near identical.
		The big beastie never had the sort of fame that her Japanese cousin did, but then being Irish I imagine she was happier kicking back in a bar with a few Guinness singing about whatever giant undersea monsters sing about (a lot of ballads about fish, I would imagine).

	Movie Reviews: Gorgo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In a contrast to the gay parenting storyline, Gorgo's even bigger parent turns up and smashes London in an attempt to get the young Gorgo back (the "monsters" are never vilified, nor are any of the humans: Greed is the only real villain here).
		The correlation between the monster and the gay couple's respective attempts to form a family is touching and subtle, and it's a pretty advanced topic for a film made in 1961.
		That the monster's claim of parenthood is more easily accepted than the gay couple's is a strong, cynical, sadly correct statement, but the happy ending (the Gorgo family return to the ocean and Joe, Sam and Sean end up together, although their future is ambiguous) is an hopeful one.

		A scientist is thoughtful enough to point out that the sailor's bonanza is only an infant and that a full grown specimen would be over 200 feet in height.
		Sure enough, Gorgo's mama comes thundering ashore, reclaims her offspring and heads back to sea -- but not before she trashes a generous portion of London.
		GORGO (1961) is the British answer to the Giant Monster films that came predominantly out of Japan and go back to Hollywood features like 1933's KING KONG and 1925's original LOST WORLD.

		Before long its gargantuan mother appears, an unstoppable force of prehistoric nature that wreaks havok on everything in her path to rescue her baby.
		Up until GORGO, audiences of giant monster films automatically assumed that prehistoric menaces would be killed in the end; it was just a question of how.

		Gorgo's mother, who is upset and significantly larger follows his trail to London leaving a wake of destruction in her path.
		After the beast is captured, and delivered to a London circus, it is dubbed "Gorgo" based on the Gorgon of Greek Mythology.
		While the creature languishes in captivity, British paleontologists discover the 65-foot tall animal is actually an "infant." They presume an infant implies a "parent." Things really go "crash, bang, boom!" when Gorgo's angry parent, three times the infant's size, comes calling on London town.
