Godzilla (1956)
Ed Goldman vio el filme Gojira en un cine asiático de Los Ángeles y la compró inmediatamente para volver a vender a Jewell Enterprises, pruductora y distribuidora de explotations. Era un buen momento para las monster movies, pero las referencias a la bomba atómica y que fuera una película 100% japonesa (los estadounidenses todavía recordaban Pearl Harbor), los hizo dudar. Finalmente decidieron eliminar toda referencia antinuclear del film y añadir nuevos ajustes con el actor Raymond Burr (Perry Mason) haciendo de periodista, testigo occidental de todos los hechos. La película pierde todo el trasfondo social y crítico para convertirse en un mero entretenimiento; haciendo que la crítica destrozara el film pero que se convirtiera en un éxito de público.
