1957.  Directed by Fred F Sears. TAGLINES : "Winged Monster from 17,000,000 B.C.! Big as a Battleship! Flies 4 Times the Speed of Sound! Atomic Weapons Can't Hurt It!" "Air Missile Strikes! Big as a Battleship! Flies 3000 M.P.H.! 700 ft. wingspan! Rockets Into Stratosphere! Attacks cities...coast-to-coast!" - Global panic ensues when it is revealed that a mysterious UFO is actually a giant bird that flies at supersonic speed and has no regard for life or architecture. When electronics engineer Mitch MacAfee spots a UFO as "big as a battleship," from his plane, the Air Force scrambles planes to investigate. However, nothing shows up on radar, and one of the jets is lost during the action. MacAfee is regarded as a dangerous crackpot until other incidents and disappearances convince the authorities that the threat is real. Some believe it is a French-Canadian folk legend come to life, but it turns out to be an extraterrestrial giant bird composed of anti-matter whose disregard for human life and architecture threatens the world. CAST includes Jeff Morrow, Mara Corday, Morris Ankrum, Edgar Barrier, Robert Shayne, Clark Howat, Dabbs Greer, Morgan Jones, George Cisar, Leonard P Geer, Sol Murgi, Fred F Sears (narrator). BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : The producers originally planned to use a stop-motion model created by Ray Harryhausen for the bird. Due to budgetary limitations, they used a marionette. It has been reported that the marionette of the "Giant Claw" monster, made by a model-maker in Mexico City, cost producer Sam Katzman a mere $50. In an interview, Jeff Morrow said that no one in the cast saw the title monster until they went to the film's premiere in Morrow's home town. Producer Sam Katzman had contracted with a low-budget model-maker in Mexico City to construct the "Giant Claw," and no one in the cast or crew had any idea it would come out looking as bizarre as it did. Morrow said the audience roared with laughter every time the monster made an appearance. He wound up slinking out of the theater in embarrassment before the film was over so no one who knew him would recognize him.
