Sample commentary
The Creature Walks Among Us; 1956; Studio: Universal Pictures; Director: John Sherwood; Cast: Jeff Morrow, Rex Reason, Leigh Snowden, Gregg Palmer, Maurice Manson. In the 1940s and 1950s, Universal Pictures was the premier studio for monster movies, creating classic characters that have become pop culture icons. Universal’s creature features included the most recognizable monsters to ever lumber across the silver screen, including Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, and the Wolf Man. In 1954, Universal released a brand-new beast in the film Creature from the Black Lagoon, introducing audiences to the Gill Man, an amphibious humanoid who was living his best life in the Amazon until scientists showed up to disturb his peace. Creature from the Black Lagoon was well-received and spawned two sequels, Revenge of the Creature (1955) and The Creature Walks Among Us (1956), often noted as the last of Universal’s original classic monster series. The Creature Walks Among Us was the only movie of the trilogy not filmed in 3-D due to budget constraints and a waning audience interest in the fad. As the film opens, a new team of scientists is preparing to recapture the Gill Man, who is loose in the waters of the Everglades in Florida. The misunderstood monster only wants to be left alone, but research is not done with him, particularly after he is injured and deranged Dr. Barton engineers the Gill Man’s treatment to make him more human-like. This film differs from its predecessors by presenting the Gill Man in a more sympathetic light, exploring the ethics of experimentation and the human manipulation of nature. The shift in focus divided critics and audiences at the time, some of whom appreciated the slant toward science fiction, while others longed for the old action-packed horror theme. The Gill Man was played by two actors for this film, one for land and the other for water scenes. The water creature was played by Ricou Ren Browning, a water show performer whose turn in Creature from the Black Lagoon led to subsequent underwater acting jobs and an eventual career in directing and scriptwriting. Gill Man on land was played by Don Megowan, whose 6-foot seven-inch height appropriately overshadowed everyone on set.
