Crosby and Hope
I saw Gorgo in the theater when I was 9 years old and thought it was a terrific movie.
I saw it recently on TV (a very bad print) and as I watched it reminded me of one of those Bing Crosby and Bob Hope Road movies, William Sylvester in what would be the Crosby role and Bill Travers in the part Hope would have played.
A couple of characters hitting some hard luck while commandeering a raggedy tramp steamer wringing out a "get-rich-quick" scheme when they capture the sea monster. Mayhem ensues.
Vincent Winter filled in the Dorothy Lamour part.
