This documentary delves not only into the making of the original film "Creature from the Black Lagoon", but its legacy- sequels, merchandise, die-hard fans, and its influence on other films.
It is narrated by one of the all-time greats in his profession, Keith David. As usual, he knocks it out of the park. Among those interviewed for the documentary are stars land gill-man Ben Chapman & Julia Adams, and well-known fans of the film such as Daniel Roebuck ("Matlock") and Academy Award winning Benecio Del Toro ("Traffic"). You can tell the passion that the stars & fans of the film still have, 60+ years after its release.
I watched this documentary on the recently released Blu-ray edition, and it was cool to see some extra features that tie into the documentary itself, such as an Abbott & Costello skit from the Colgate Comedy Hour.
I'd highly recommend this film to any fan of the Universal monsters, monsters in general, or science fiction classics.
