REVENGE OF THE CREATURE 1955 B/W Horror Film
(a.k.a. Return of the Creature and Return of the Creature from the Black Lagoon) is the first of two Universal-International sequels to Creature from the Black Lagoon. It was the only 3D film released in 1955 and the only 3D sequel to a 3D film released during "the golden age of 3D." The Gill-man is captured and sent to the Ocean Harbor Oceanarium in Florida, where he is studied by animal psychologist Professor Clete Ferguson and ichthyology student Helen Dobson. Helen and Clete quickly begin to fall in love, the Gill-man also takes an instant liking to Helen, which severely hampers Clete's efforts to communicate with him. Ultimately, the Gill-man escapes from his tank, and flees to the open ocean. Unable to stop thinking about Helen, the Gill-man soon begins to stalk her and Clete, and returns to claim her.
I liked this line from the Captain of the boat, I hope you ain't going to blow up my boat Mr. Johnson. Like my wife, she's not much but she's all I have. The film also marked an early role for Clint Eastwood as a lab technician. The creature itself I thought was impressive, I had seen pictures of the Creature from the Black Lagoon before but never watched any of the movies so I was pleasantly surprised.
