Lewtonesque atmospherics + toy boats in a bathtub = blissed out monster movie heaven. Godzilla is a cautionary tale for the nuclear age filled with heart, soul, wit and extremely effective, if low budget, special effects. This newly restored original 1954 Japanese version contains 40 minutes not seen in the American re-release two years later.
