Scenes from ATLAS IN THE LAND OF THE CYCLOPS (1961) 

In this scene, to give the illusion that the Cyclops is a giant, they used a short man or a kid for Gordon Mitchell. It's a clever way of playing with perspective. They did the same thing in MACISTE IN HELL (1962). Aldo Pedinotti played the Cyclops. Aldo was 6'10" so it wasn't too difficult for him to appear tall. I think the scene works very well.
