Celebrate a Monstrous 60th Anniversary with 'Godzilla: The Japanese Original'

Can you believe it was 60 years ago that that glorious Thunder Lizard, "Godzilla" stomped and screamed its way into our hearts? Thanks to Rialto Pictures, "Godzilla: The Japanese Original" has been restored in an uncut, undubbed and uncensored form to thrill old and new generations of fans. This version will premiere at the fifth TCM Classic Film Festival on April 12 in Hollywood, followed a by national release (beginning at New York’s Film Forum, April 18-24) from Rialto Pictures.

"Godzilla" is revered as one of the "greatest science fiction/monster films ever made, boasting still-impressive special effects, as the radiation-breathing prehistoric monster, awakened after millennia by Hydrogen Bomb testing – and impervious to repeated shelling by the Japanese army – wreaks destruction on Tokyo." The groundbreaking film became Toho Studio’s #1 box office hit of 1954.
