...early '60s and definitely on television, my brother and I began to check out the other items in the Harryhausen oeuvre. The next great one we saw was "It Came from Beneath the Sea"; it's still one of my favorites. The giant octopus wrapped around the Golden Gate Bridge has become an iconic image in American pop. Next time you see it look closely and note the octopus has only five tentacles, three fewer for Harryhausen to move during each day's tedious shooting. The producers saved $10,000 per tentacle...
...what pictures! Kong fighting what looks like a T. rex; Kong tearing apart a pterodactyl with his bare hands; Kong outside a giant gate as hundreds of villagers run toward the camera; Kong on the Empire State Building defying the planes that are coming to kill him.

Branson, others have noted, can seem shy for a guy equally smiley alongside bare-chested models and Tony Blair. But "shy" doesn't quite capture it; imagine Bill Gates in court, except handsome and well turned-out. Branson crosses his arms as if to hug himself and talks...
