Turner Classic Movie channel kicks off its summer Drive-In Thursday movie series with the most famous of the monsters from the 1950s and ?60s, Godzilla! Yes, tonight we begin with Godzilla, King of the Monsters, the original, first in the Big Guy?s long franchise. While the true original from 1954, TCM will show the Japanese-American version from 1955 tonight, which includes additional footage featuring American actor, Raymond Burr. Yes, Godzilla helped boost Burr?s career, leading to his long run in the hit TV series, Perry Mason.
All through the month of June, TCM will air its Drive-In movie double features. Tonight we get Godzilla, followed by Rodan. Later this evening, TCM will also show Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster, as well as Godzilla vs Monster Zero. Other features in June will include such classics as The Blob, starring a young Steve McQueen, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman starring Allison Hayes, and even Queen of Outer Space starring Zsa Zsa Gabor. Darling, Manhattan is the place to be!
Call them campy, call them trashy, call these movies whatever you want, but watch them anyway, because they are tons of fun! These Cold War Era classics represent a terrific look at the paranoia of the times. Plus they go good with a large bucket of buttered popcorn, too! You can almost smell the exhaust fumes as the Drive-In theater?s parking lot fills with gas-guzzling automobiles. Or hear the cheesy static from cheap speakers as you cuddle with your girlfriend in her Angora sweater, ready to comfort her as she screams in fright!
All through the month of June, Turner Classic Movies will run its Drive-In Thursday double features, starting tonight with Godzilla, King of the Monsters. The American version of this Japanese classic which launched a franchise stars Raymond Burr as the tough-guy reporter telling the world how Godzilla is trashing Tokyo. Maybe not the best thing since the earthquake and tsunami back in March. But TCM is going for it anyway and we should, too!
