It's B.I.G.!

One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: The brainchild of Bert I. Gordon, who produced, directed and co-wrote, with writer Mark Hanna, the film stars Glenn Langan, Cathy Downs and William Hudson.

The sentimental monster is created when an enlisted man grows huge after being exposed to a nuclear bomb test. When he starts creating havoc, nothing can stop him until he falls off Grand Coulee Dam.

The American-International Pictures release was photographed by Joseph Biroc, whose movies include "It's a Wonderful Life", "Bwana Devil" (the original 3-D feature) and "Blazing Saddles"!
