Gorgo

Gorgo is a British 1961 science fiction monster movie directed by Eugène Lourié. It is the third Lourié's monster movie after The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) and The Giant Behemoth (1959). After a volcanic eruption off Ireland coast a monster appears from the ocean. Two treasure divers manage to capture the creature and sell it to London circus where it is made the star attraction. After the monster, nicknamed Gorgo, is examined by scientists, they find out that this is just a infant of its species. Soon an adult monster Ogra raises from the deep and moves to London to resque the small one.
