Wikipedia article




'Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century' is a 1977 Italian-Canadian giant monster film directed by Gianfranco Parolini (as Frank Kramer), co-written by Parolini, Marcello Coscia, and Mario di Nardo, with special effects by Giovanni Cappelli, Nello Cappelli, Giuseppe Carrozza, Beniamino Carrozza, Amerigo Casagrande, Marcello Martinelli, Germano Natali, Augusto Possanza, and Fabio Traversari. In the film, an industrialist's orphaned grandchildren and their collie befriend an awakened Yeti.

Plot



Professor Wassermann (John Stacy) is asked by industry magnate Morgan Hunnicut (Eddie Faye) to lead an expedition to study the giant Yeti creature found frozen in a large ice block on Newfoundland's coast. The professor does not know that Hunnicut intends to use the prehistoric creature as a trademark of its multinational industrial group. A very big mistake.
