Andromeda (play) Menelaus arrives dressed in rags. He then uses a parody of "Andromeda" in which the kinsman as Andromeda laments his fate to the response of his echo, Euripides as Perseus arrives via the crane, and falls quickly in love with her. In the parody, Perseus' love as depicted in "Andromeda" is transformed to lust. Aristophanes also referenced "Andromeda" in his 405 play "The Frogs", where the god Dionysus states that while reading "Andromeda" he was smitten with longing for Euripides. It has been reported from antiquity that Alexander the Great was able to perform a portion of "Andromeda" by heart.
Monster from the Ocean Floor was sold to Lippert Pictures for $110,000. Gene Corman later said that Lippert renegotiated his deal on the film once he found out that Roger Corman had not spent $100,000 on making it, but considerably less. Corman received a $60,000 advance for "Monster", which enabled him to make his next film. The film grossed $850,000. "TV Guide" found the movie lacking and criticized the directing; however, it found the movie interesting historically as the "beginning of something big and cheap". Variety was kinder, calling the movie a well made quickie. Monster from the Ocean Floor Monster from the Ocean Floor
