ATRAGON TEASER

Surly a few of you will remember this Japanese movie from 1963. Atragon which featured a fabulous flying submarine with drill attachment.


I first watched this movie at one of the Saturday morning matinees I used to go to as a kid. When I got  home I quickly made some sketches of the boat to retain a memory.. The 'Mole-like' drill, which was obviously pre-Thunderbirds, and the fact that the Atragon converted into a flying missile had me hooked.


The filmed also featured undersea cities ,subterranean invaders and the obligatory undersea monster.

I'll do a more in depth feature later.
