The highlight is probably Mifune battling the hydra. I kinda thought the creature itself was rather stiff, but it does pre-date say Harryhausen's version in "Jason and the Argonauts", and more-or-less became an inspiration for Ghidrah.
Though I've only seen this without subtitles, it is interesting to watch --- Tsuburaya's effects, familiar actors like Akihiko Hirata, Jun Tazaki and Takashi Shimura, and Mifune's always forceful performance.
I find it rather odd that Toho has never offically released this on DVD (or VHS before that), considering it's all-star cast and sort of being labeled as "The Ten Commandments of Japan."

Toho released it on DVD at around the same time they released G'54 back in 2001.

"The gigantic octopus is a slimy, loathsome creature and one of Tsuburaya's best creations."
