I originally saw the public domain version that was all cut up and scratchy. But now I've stumbled upon this restored directors cut. Enjoy!

3. Thank you so much for that. Somewhere, a young Ray Harryhousen was watching that, thinking, "whoa."

One of the networks that run old movies ran 20 Million Miles to Earth on Saturday. I watched it.

Attention, Ray Harryhausen fans.

As for Raymond Scott, I posted his birthday thread over in Music Appreciation a few days back.

On this day, September 10, 1908, Harry Warnow was born. You know him better as Raymond Scott.

Thanks again.
