Released in 1958, The Colossus of New York isn’t one of the better known horror/monster films of yesteryear, yet its one that, despite my having seen it one time when I was a kid, has stuck with me.

Basically the film was a 60/40 mix of Frankenstein and King Kong, with a man’s brain placed in the “colossus”, a robotic body, with tragic results.  The man who would become the Colossus was played by Ross Martin, who would go on to greater success as Artemis Gordon in The Wild Wild West TV show.
