Review of Creature from the Black Lagoon

I hear about this film but never have watched. Now, at last, I could see the final 20 minutes (the Spanish television channel I captured it do not use to announce previously nothing more than the movies show at the afternoon) and I enjoy it. I can realize very well the reputation of this modest but entertaining movie B series, a clear predecessor of more sophisticated creatures at sci-fi cinema. I can remember that Marilyn Monroe likes this tender creature -Richard Carlson is very worse- as she says to Tom Ewell at a sequence of The Seven Year Itch. I can imagine that the Black Lagoon Creature, a amphibious fish fallen in love for Julie Adams, must be very horrible by his time (1954) and that Julie Adams looks very erotic in her shorts pants. Today all that is very ingenuous. Customary to very unpleasant and realist creatures movies with tremendous and expensive special effects -who hide very often the lack of authentic talent-, you will find charming this movie. But don't forget that is a classic of the sci-fi. Watch it!
