"Creature From the Black Lagoon" (1954)
One of the great Universal monster movies, "Creature From the Black Lagoon" is about a geology expedition to the Amazon that uncovers a prehistoric Gill Man, who falls for the girlfriend (Julie Adams) of one of the scientists (Richard Carlson). "It's one of the most iconic films of the period," Joseph says. "It holds up really well. There's underwater 3-D cinematography. The film was so successful that, in 1955, Universal did 'Revenge of the Creature' in 3-D even though 3-D had died by then." |
