The Giant Claw - Wikipedia

"The Giant Claw is a 1957 American monster film from Columbia Pictures, produced by Sam Katzman, directed by Fred F. Sears, that stars Jeff Morrow and Mara Corday."

Katzman originally planned to utilize stop motion effects by Ray Harryhausen, but due to budget constraints he instead hired a low-budget special effects studio in Mexico City, Mexico, to create the mythical creature that would be the showpiece of the production. The result, however, was a poorly made "marionette."[4] The puppet's construction was so underwhelming that a common misconception stating it was made in Mexico City for only $50 became very popular, but no credible sources support this assertion.

Morrow later confessed in an interview that no one in the film knew what the monster looked like until the film's premiere. Morrow himself first saw the film in his hometown, and hearing the audience laugh every time the monster appeared on screen, he left the theater early, embarrassed that anyone there might recognize him; he allegedly went home and began drinking."
