This was an earlier Ray Harryhausen effort, and not in the same class as many of his later efforts. The romantic plot between veteran of many B Movies Kenneth Tobey and Howard Hughes former Jailbait girlfriend Faith Domergue is really laughable and totally unnecessary. My guess is that the producers deemed it necessary to make the film long enough, and cheaper than trying to create more scenes with the sextuple Cephalopoda. Nevertheless, it's one of those 1950's Disaster Flicks where radioactivity was responsible for creating all kinds of monsters that is still fun to watch, although not as good as others like "The Thing From Another World" and "Them!".
