Dr. Cyclops was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects (Farciot Edouart and Gordon Jenning) at the 13th Academy Awards. Dr. Cyclops was directed by Ernest B. Schoedsack who was also responsible for King Kong. Like that earlier film, it involves an expedition into the jungle in search of scientific discovery. Also like King Kong, the film features elaborate sets and special effects. It is also the first American science fiction film made in Technicolor, and Schoedsack assured that the color special effects were effective. Starring Albert Dekker, Janice Logan, Thomas Coley, Charles Halton, Victor Kilian, and Frank Yaconelli. Click for other version of poster
