Mightiest melodrama of them all!"; "Spawned in the ocean's depths... it stalks the earth! Belching fire that blasts mighty cities into oblivion! A gory Goliath that lives to kill... kills to live! Diabolical demon of destruction... mightiest monster of them all - Godzilla!"; "Makes King King look like a midget!"; "Earth-shaking! Screen-shattering!"; "Awesome - and then some! - Civilization totters! Science astounded!"; "See! A monstrous sea-beast... surging up from the ocean! ... a city of six-million wiped out by its death ray blast! ...Giant ships swamped! Jet planes swept from the skies! Trains ripped from the rails!"; "More! More! More! See every screen-shattering thrill!") starring Raymond Burr (in the American version), Akihiko Hirata, Takashi Shimura, Akira Takarada, Momoko Kochi, and Haruo Nakajima (the man in the Godzilla monster suit!). Note that this movie was originally titled "Gojira" when released in Japan in 1954. Two years later, an Americanized re-edited version was released which listed Terry Morse and Ishiro Honda as directors. It had most of the commentary by the Japanese actors about nuclear war removed, and new scenes were shot with Raymond Burr, who plays a TV commentator announcing what Godzilla is doing, thus allowing him to be in the movie without actually appearing in any of the original scenes! Even though these new scenes with Raymond Burr were added, the new running time of the movie was still 8 minutes shorter than the original running time, because they removed quite a bit of the original footage. The U.S. version is 90 minutes, and the original Japanese version is 98 minutes. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this (or these, in the case of multiple negatives) was created by and sent by the studio that produced this (in the year noted on this auction) to newspapers, magazines, TV stations, or reviewers, so that they could use them to create the highest quality ads. They can be used to make very high quality reproductions, but bear in mind that we are solely auctioning the physical negatives and NOT the right to reproduce them, so unless they are public domain, the new owner must acquire the rights elsewhere before reproducing them. NOTE THAT THE ITEM(S) YOU ARE PURCHASING IS A "NEGATIVE" THAT HAS A REVERSE IMAGE, AS SEEN IN OUR PHOTO (we also scanned them as well, using a special "negative setting", which reverses the image, so that you can see how the negative appears when you reverse the image, but the buyer of this auction will receive one or more negatives, NOT a positive image, as seen in our special scan). Condition: good to very good. One of the negatives has deterioration in the right of the top black border that extends into the edge of the background (see our images). The negatives do not have plastic sleeves, but it would certainly be easy to acquire some. Learn More about condition grades
