The underwater photography is excellent and the musical score is quite good. But I love the Creature. Here's a thought. You can laugh at all the old monster films and movie monsters from the old days. But no one ever laughs at the Creature, do they? He has never once been called corny or cheesy or hackneyed, has he? Nor will he ever. He is a superb design, imaginatively conceived and executed, that has withstood the ravages of time and the sneers and snide remarks of younger viewers and subsequent generations of viewers. What a fine, winning conception he truly is- an image for the ages in the realm of the fantastic and the unreal. I love the Gillman. Alongside the Wolfman, he is my all time favorite Universal monster. Period! As one critic so aptly said: " He is a finny delight." Yes, and he always will be!
