I loved the Friday nights when everyone went to the local high school football game and I stayed home to watch old horror movies on tv. This was one of them.

The Shape of Water is cross between Black Lagoon and Beauty and the Beast, but more on the Beauty and Beast side. I would prefer a more Black Lagoon/horror remake.

There was plans to do a remake as part of the creature feature remakes which included the Invisible man, the Wolfman and the Mummy with Tom Cruise, but because those movies did so horribly they ended up shelving the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

I read somewhere that the underwater Creature suit was molded in a very light-colored rubber, orange I recall, because the green suit registered as dark gray or black underwater causing the details and textures to be lost on the print.

Thanks Johnathan for your wonderful treatment of this classic film! I was doing some research on Julie Adams a few years back, noting how strikingly beautiful she was, and read that at one time she was married to a Ray Danton, and that they had a son named Steven. When I looked up Ray Danton and saw his picture, I had a sudden realization…I recognized Mr. Danton as one of the parents I saw after one of our high school football games! I played football with Steve Danton, and although I didn’t know him well, I do recall that he was a very handsome young man, no doubt he inherited much of his mother’s good looks! This is one of those “small world” stories, I guess, but thank you again for your channel and these reviews, I enjoy them very much!

I was fortunate enough to see this film in 3D back in 1972 at my local theater. I was only twelve at the time and had seen the film on TV. Here was a chance for me to go see it on the big screen. That would have been enough but when I got there it was being presented in 3D. I thought that's pretty cool and didn't know what to expect from a 3D fim. It's still vivid for me, at the very beginning when the Rocks come hurtling at your face.

Bud Westmore had very little to do with creating the look of the Creature. You mention Jack Kevan, and he is the main person involved. Several other people in the department also contributed. There were a lot of ideas all being discussed, and Milicent was the one who helped take all the ideas and make composite drawings, helping to combine various ideas into a "final". (I had a brief correspondence with her, and visited her back in the 70's and 80's to talk about her work on this and a couple of other films. Also interviewed several other people who worked on the costume.) Kevan really is the main guy by everyone's consensus.

This was my first monster movie in the 50s. Years later, when it came out on vcr, I showed it my two sons. About halfway through, my younger son looked at me and said “are we supposed to be scared now”? They were brought up movies like “The Exorcist “.

@Chesterek667 2 жыл бұрын

The entire movie is an homage to movies of those Times. Dr Cacroach is a parody of "The Fly", Missing Link is in Gill-Man, B.o.b. is a parody of "Blob" and that huge insect (forgotnits name) was parody of creature features in general, specifically Mothra from Godzilla universe. And the alien antagonist is also an homage to those cheesy alien movies of the 50s.

@MrTonyVision 4 жыл бұрын

The fault of any mistakes on You Tube belong to the video makers, solely. They do not do the best multi citation to check for REAL facts. Wikipedia is not fact checked for truth. Wikipedia, wikipedia, wikipedia, or any 'Wikipedia' format archive.....Sure...I wish people would be better educated about the huge flaws in using that archive as 'facts', I would feel more comfortable. Internet serious researchers and myself have known for years that Wiki is can be flawed for factual information. The system is flawed because it relies on 'consensus', not researched citated facts. There are hundreds of articles (Google 'flaws of wikipedia') about the fact that people only using Wikipedia for their factual information are flawed if they wish to be confident about receiving a true fact. One of the original founders of Wikipedia, has come to that conclusion, gave his opinion and he was banned & exiled from Wikipedia for his differing factually based factual based opinion. So much for personal freedom of speech and knowledge in the current owner's of Wikipedia world. Most people have found the huge flaw in Wikipedia and no longer rely on it for factual information, solely.

I always and still freakin amazed at the great underwater shots, Ricou’s Browning work is Legendary, considering the costume was probably foam which absorbs water would’ve made the suit heavier, and Browning having to hold his breath in all the shots while swimming is what makes The Creature so believable!!! The Shape of Water creature Design still doesn’t come close to the Creature!!
