The Giant Gila Monster (1959)

An American science fiction directed by Ray Kellogg.
A hot rod car mechanic helps the police to find and eliminate a giant lizard that is causing accidents on roads and rails.
Talk about off-topic! This movie was more about the hot rod mechanic than the monster. The plot was focused on him as the main character and time was alotted for singing and playing the banjolele. Now I have nothing against '50s rock songs played upon the banjolele, but isn't this a movie about a giant gila monster? The lizard gets about 2 minutes total screen time and the singing mechanic gets about an hour. Because they got distracted and went off on a tangent, I rate this poor. Watch it if you like '50s pop-rock songs and banjoleles.
