“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

The year after the great giant ant film "Them," Bert I. Gordon made his first film that used live animals on miniature sets and actors running from back-projected menaces. It's probably his best film of the type - still not good, mind you. This one has a giant armadillo, a giant gila monster (not the same one in "The Giant Gila Monster") and footage from Hal Roach's "One Million B.C." The plot: astronauts land on planet Nova, which looks like Benedict Canyon, encounter monsters and solve their problems in the end with an atomic bomb.
