20 million miles to earth (1957)

aka The Giant Ymir. The Beast from Space.
"Horrible, but fascinating." A US voyage to Venus crashes in Sicily on its return to earth. Only two men initially survive the crash, but unfortunately so does a specimen of life from Venus. Now released from its captivity the animal starts growing at an alarming rate, terrorising the neighborhood. The army manages to capture it, but it manages to escape again and decides to take in the tourist traps of Rome.
Classic creature feature making good use of Ray Harryhausen's animation skills.
