One of my favorite horror films of when I was a kid watching Creature Feature on Early Saturday afternoons and still enjoy to watch today. The film tells the story of a discovery of an ancient fossil fin that sends a group of scientists down the Amazon to find the remaining bones. What they discover instead is a live breathing relative thats not too happy to have intruders invading its Black Lagoon. Its man against nature as the group tries to capture, then escape, the creature whose gained a fixation on the lovely female scientist played by the beautiful Julia "Julie" Adams. I must admit while watching this film I cant help but stare at nothing but the lovely miss Adams when ever she's on screen. I can understand why the creature went cuckoo for coacoa puffs when he saw her too! LOL..Now whats really funny to me is that even in the amazon this lovely scientist has fashion sense and has at least ten, thats right, ten outfit changes while the men wear the same old rags. Some of those changes are within minutes of each scene that take place withing the same time frame give or take an hour in context. Even as the men around her are mutilated and massacred, the lovely "Kay" doesn't let that detract her from a quick outfit change, LOL. The only thing that puzzles me about the film is that its obvious to the watcher that the creature is enamored with the leading lady but at no time is this even mentioned nor confirmed in the film nor used or explored. Aside from that the film is top notch and one for the collection. I hope the up coming remake does it justice and hires a lovely leading lady that is a match for the knockout Miss Adams. I would suggest the sexy Angelina Jolie or even Jessica Alba...Hmmm
