The Giant Claw is about a giant bird from outer space which comes from the North Pole and invades the U.S. and Canada. Our fighter planes attack it, but The Giant Claw gobbles them up. Just like the current invaders from China, it terrorizes everyone in the U.S.
As you can see in this preview, the special effects are first rate.

Oh my, yes, Mr. Dillon -- my very first love -- from the very first day I saw him on that little black and white screen. Love at first sight.
I still watch him, as he is forever trapped in time, but now I get to see him on a 65 inch screen. Gotta love that intro scene. I just read that Mr. Dillon was shot 53 times (or was it 56?), stabbed 3 times, and poisoned once. (I don't know if the shootings counted the arrow that hit him a few weeks ago.)
I must now go find that movie you are talking about, although Fess Parker never did it for me. And besides — Matt’s hat was a whole lot better.
