The Amazing Colossal Man

(1957)Directed by Bert I. Gordon80 minScience Fiction, Adventure, Thriller
“Growing...! Growing...! Growing...! To a Giant! to a Monster! When will it stop?”

A plutonium bomb test burns Lt. Col. Glenn Manning (Glenn Langan) over ninety percent of his body, and by every medical expectation he should be dead. He survives, then starts to grow, while his fiancée Carol Forrest (Cathy Downs) and Dr. Paul Linstrom (William Hudson) watch his mind slip as he gains height. Bert I. Gordon shoots it in black and white on a small budget, built around a man who keeps getting bigger.
