the amazing colossal man (1957)

Lt. Col. Glenn Manning (Glenn Langan) is accidentally exposed to a plutonium bomb blast trying to rescue a crashed pilot. Though badly burned, he survives, but then he begins to grow, and grow and grow! As he grows, he starts to lose his mind. His growth only stops when he reaches 50 feet tall, but by this point he has gone insane. They have to contain him, but he escapes and makes for Las Vegas. Can the scientists and his fiancee Carol (Cathy Downs) stop him?
One of those films that has adequate special effects and fantastically campy and quotable bad dialogue. A b-movie drive-in classic.
