THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON
(Universal-International) "| HE semi-documentary opening of this new horror film was, I felt sure, intended to win a suspension of disbelief in something really overpowering to come, but once fully revealed the Creature was, after all, disappointingly human. Maybe I was feeling tired, but I couldn’t help suspecting that here was just another refugee from the McCarthy ommittee who had fled all the way to the Upper Amazon to make his reappraisal, and there had grown a really thick skin and wicked paw against the day of his return. All the same, this is no stuff for the children. Pictorial Parade ")°HE National Film Unit's Pictorial Parade No, 30, released on December 10, includes ea glimpse of the people who make up a Hawke's Bay shearing gang. a reminder of holiday fire dangers, and a view of skilled immigrant glassblowers making lightshades and other glassware for New Zealand homes.
