Trivia
The film was based on a short fantasy novel called "The Luminous Fairies and Mothra" (Hakko Yosei to Mosura). Toho commissioned the story, wanting to appeal to a female audiences since Toho president/producer Iwao Mori found that women made up a large portion of the movie-going public and would often bring people along with them. Writers Takehiko Fukunaga, Shin'ichirô Nakamura, and Yoshie Hotta each wrote part of the original story which was then adapted by screenwriter Shin'ichi Sekizawa into the final film. The film was a hit at the box office and became one of Toho's most successful fantasy films, with Mothra becoming a popular character who would star alongside Godzilla as well has her own film series decades later.

Citas

Dr. Shinichi Chujo: I want you to stop this inhumanity and return them to their island.
Nelson's Henchman: Inhumanity? Ridiculous. Strictly speaking they're just scientific data.
Clark Nelson: Those fairies aren't human. They're merchandise.

Créditos curiosos
In the credits for the U.S. version, including promo material released by Columbia Pictures, Eurasian model Jerry Ito (who plays the villianous Mr. Nelson) is billed as "Jelly Ito."

Perhaps the Greatest Competitor to Godzilla?

Shipwreck survivors are found on Beiru, an island previously used for atomic tests. Amazingly free of radiation effects, they believe they were protected by a special juice given to them by the natives.

Nothing much to say about this one. I only knew Mothra as an adversary to Godzilla and was interested in seeing the film where he debuts and predates his epic fight with the lizard of destruction. It is a good story and gets to the heart of the Mothra myth with the singing fairies that summon him.

While maybe not as iconic as Godzilla, Mothra is a kaiju worthy of his own film series (which he has), and those interested in Toho's work really ought to check it out.
