The introduction of the last, greatest, and likely most popular of the Universal Monsters; the Gill-Man! Filmed on location in Silver Springs, Florida. A beautiful and exotic place, but if you've ever visited, you wouldn't want to find yourself alone there at night! I could just picture in my mind the Creature reaching with his webbed claw hand for Julie Adams... Superb story about discovery of a man-like missing link creature of amphibious nature. The CFBL is an extremely powerful, scary, but plausible, monster armed with sharp claws. And, he doesn't like being chased or having his territory being infringed upon. So he reacts defensively by eliminating one-by-one the crew of a small research charter boat. And naturally, he wants the girl for himself. The cast is top notch; famous horror/sci-fi stars Richard Carlson, Richard Denning and Whit Bissell plus Nestor Paiva and the lovely Julie Adams. My only regret is that this movie is only about 75 mins long. This one shoulda been at least two hours long!!! Don't miss it.
