The Fantastic World of Ray Harryhausen
Everett
20 Million Miles to Earth, 1957
Based on a story that Harryhausen developed before he found success, this story of a monster from Venus run rampant was filmed partially in Rome, because Harryhausen wanted to vacation there. In the final scene, the creature is killed while standing atop the Coliseum.
