What Is Godzilla About?
The premise of Godzilla without spoilers.
A re‑edited Italian‑language dub of Godzilla, built on the 1956 U.S. version “Godzilla, King of the Monsters!” and spliced with WWII newsreel footage and other sci‑fi clips. The black‑and‑white film was colorized with the Spectrorama 70 process, using colored gels. New opening and closing music was composed by Fabio Frizzi, Franco Bixio and Vince Tempera (as Magnetic System).
