I am a lifelong fan of Ray and I am still amazed at what he was able to achieve with little to no budgets and nothing but talent and sheer inventiveness. He was a disciple of Willis O'brien (see Mighty Joe Young) and was greatly inspired by Obrien's work on King Kong to pursue his dream. He is best friends with another famous Ray, and they collaborated together on The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, which makes watching the picture that much more fun. (To me, anyway.)
Check out the Earth vs the Flying Saucers clip for a nice little jab at our "foreign" policy.
