Trailer - The Colossus of New York - 1958

The Colossus of New York is a 1958 science fiction film from Paramount Pictures, produced by William Alland, directed by Eugène Lourié, that stars Ross Martin, Otto Kruger, John Baragrey, Mala Powers, Robert Hutton, and Charles Herbert.[2] The screenplay was written by Thelma Schnee, the maiden name of Thelma Moss, who later became a famous parapsychologist.[3] The film's storyline is credited to Willis Goldbeck, while John P. Fulton handled the special photographic effects, and Wally Westmore handled the makeup. Paramount Pictures theatrically released Colossus in June 1958 as a double feature with The Space Children.[1] (Note: Certainly not in Los Angeles, where this film opened on November 19, 1958, as the bottom half of a double bill - top half was From the Earth to the Moon.)
