Anecdotes
Kenneth Tobey completes a military trifecta in this movie. In La chose venue d'ailleurs (1951) he played an Air Force Captain, in Le monstre des temps perdus (1953) an Army Colonel and in this a Navy Commander.

Gaffes
Faith Domergue says toward the end of the movie that another giant octopus attacked in the 12th Century as a result of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. The AD 79 eruption of Vesuvius is the most famous, but in the 12th century it erupted in both 1139 and 1150.

Citations
[Prof. Carter pulls an octopus from an aquarium tank]
Prof. John Carter: Here, gentlemen, is your villain.
Naval Asst. Sec. Robert David Chase: It would take an enormous number of those to disable a Navy submarine.
Prof. Lesleyl Joyce: Or just one of enormous size, Mr. Chase.

Générique farfelu
The opening credits rise up out of the ocean waves.

Autres versions
Originally, just before Matthews met Joyce and Carter, there was a freeze frame of him walking in the parking lot. Recent DVD releases smooth this out by adding a flash of sunlight at the appropriate moment.

6/10

Columbia B movie is lifted out of the mediocre by great special effects.

A nuclear sub is taking its' shakedown cruise when the Captain puts on Swing music on the stereo. The monster disapproves of his music choice and pins down the sub. The sub eventually gets free, but there is unidentifiable matter stuck to it. Eventually scientist Faith Domergue figures out it belongs to a giant octopus.

Director Robert Gordon does a good job of not letting the film get bogged down in talk. Domergue and the Navy argue about whether sea monsters actually exist. The film is worth watching for the stop-motion animation Harryhausen did on a limited budget. The monster is marvelously realistic looking as it wreaks havoc upon the countryside.
