Not the Americanized version but the original where they dealt with the horrors of the nuclear bomb and radiation.

THIS movie did receive an Academy award for a Foriegn film, but it is FROM JAPAN this is GODZILLA envisioned by the JAPANESE.

(1,714 posts)4. I was referring to the 1954 Gojira
The American version had Raymond Burr as the reporter , they deleted some of the more important and controversial scenes. Minus One was good but it drives my dog nuts.

company that released SHIN GODZILLA and GODZILLA minus one... all are Toho productions.

Godzilla and Gamera, my favorites. Im always a little disappointed in the American versions. They rely too much on star power and special affects.
