20 Million Miles to Earth (1957)
By the 1950's, man has finally broken free of the surly bonds of Earth. After sending a secret team to Venus and capturing an unborn animal native, the ship crashes off the coast of Sicily. The alien animal escapes and begins wreaking havoc all over Italy. Colonel Calder (the only survivor) along with a sexy "almost doctor" (aka, not a doctor), must find the life form before it escapes, or before the military kills it. Whichever comes first.
