     Creature from the Black Lagoon
1954  NR  HORROR  1h 19min
CAST— Richard Carlson, Julia Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno
MUSIC— Henry Mancini, Hans J. Salter, Herman Stein  DIRECTOR— Jack Arnold

     Swim for your life! This classic monster picture from Universal is aquatic fun for those in the mood for amphibian-induced chills and thrills. An Amazonian expedition is underway. Scientists searching for fossilized remains trek to a beautiful lagoon, teeming with life in and above the water… including the terrifying amphibian Gill Man who values his privacy and covets the fetching female researcher who keeps swimming by. Great atmosphere and graceful underwater photography showcase the monster in a creepy yet somehow sympathetic light. Oh well; inter-sub-species relationships rarely work out, anyway. Originally filmed in 3-D.
OUR RATING— ** ½
FOLLOWED BY— Revenge of the Creature (1955), The Creature Walks Among Us (1956)
