I saw the colorised version, which is a big plus in comparaison of the Black & White version.
Typical SF movie of the 50's. Enjoyable, with a real gila filmed as a giant monster. Something we can also see for exemple on "Journey to the Center of The Earth", also from 1959 or in "The Lost World" (1960).
But unlike those big budget adventure movies, "The Giant Gila Monster" is more classic, simple. The story is situated in a little town from Texas, and its surrounding roads.
And we have here a typical american hero from this time: Young, in shape, kind, brave, clever, has a "true man job" (mechanic)... And he can sing and play guitare, also. He helps the sheriff in his investigations to discover what happens to the cars and people.
The Movie is not long so you don't really get the time to get bored.
Well, if you don't have too high expectations, that's just a B-movie, and love those old flicks, i think you'll enjoy it.
