Who cannot enjoy "The Creature From The Black Lagoon?" I have an affection for it, as it was made in my birth year, 1954. The Gill Man, as he is called in the film--I think The Creature is a better name--is green and cute, and Juilia Adams, with her hair and white bathing suit, complements him superbly. And Richard Carlson is pretty hot, once he takes his shirt off.
Shot in gorgeous Fifties black and white in what appears to be a tropical setting, this film has tension, suspense and sex appeal. The underwater scenes are impressive, and when The Creature comes on land, he has such fun. Especially once he nabs Julia Adams.
I mean, girls, who wouldn't want that hair and bathing suit? Tune in tonight at 8, to see how Julia does it.
And how appropriate--a green monster right after St. Patrick's Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So be there at 8, for this gem.
And no clams on the half shell, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the iconic White Swimsuit!!!
Victoria, Actually the swimsuit was only used in publicity shots. But five years later, Liz Taylor definitively put her stamp on it in "Suddenly Last Summer."
