Worth watching over and over just to see the lead actress. The great 1950's sci-fi features all had great-looking brunettes with brains -- and Ms. Adams is the best of the bunch!

It has rises from the depths of the Black Lagoon! A strange hand-like fossil is discovered in the Amazon, which spurs a group of archaeologists to discover the rest of the skeleton. However, what they do find is an aquatic creature that is supposedly been alive for millions of years. When it starts to attack the crew for invading its territory, the fight for survival begins in the dark depths. One of cinemas most memorable creature features brings the iconic “Gill-man” to life! With some suspenseful scenes and some impressive angling, we’re truly down in the depths with them.

An all-time classic, who would have thought that the gill-man would remain a staple of the "Monster Roster" for so long!

Worth watching at least once. I'm always amused by the "monster falls in love with lady" trope.
