The Giant Claw
Flying beast out of prehistoric skies!
Directed by Fred F. Sears
Produced by Clover Productions, Columbia Pictures
A campy 1950s creature feature about global panic over a giant alien bird, blending genuine Cold War paranoia with absurdist monster-movie spectacle.
Global panic ensues when it is revealed that a mysterious UFO is actually a giant turkey-like bird that flies at supersonic speed and has no regard for life or architecture.
