Art Director Laurie Directed 4 Fantasy-Sci-Fi Films,
the Best is Harryhausen's "Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" (1951).
"Gorgo" is Infused with Wonderful Super-Saturated Color Images of City Rampage,
and a Somewhat Imaginative Creature Design, Sea-Side Locales, also with a Rousing Score.
However the Downside is that the Movie Suffers from the Man-in-a-Rubber-Suit Problem...
It's a Man-in-a-Rubber-Suit.
The 2 Male Leads Perform Adequately as "Make a Quick Buck" Treasure Hunters.
The Finale is a Finish that is Impressive.
London Destruction Bathed in Lush Warm Colors
and the Crowded City Panic is Heightened by Quick Editing.
Women are Suspiciously Absent from the Tale Until the Final Scene.
Overall "Gorgo" Found a Special Place in the Heart of Baby-Boomers because it is Quite a Delightfully Derivative Show.
Especially for 10-15 Year-Olds at a Matinee on a Saturday.
Whatever is Lacking Matters Not,
for the Imaginative Movie-Lover and the Heart-Felt Ending is the "Cherry On Top" of the Treat.
