May 10, 1962 –
The Toho studios classic monster movie Mothra (the original Japanese title was Mosura) was released on a double bill with The Three Stooges in Orbit in the U.S. on this date.
The movie was edited also removing about 10 minutes from the original Japanese version for its release in America at 90 minutes. This is the first Japanese monster film in which the monster doesn’t get “killed” at the end.
