March 5, 1954 –

The Classic B movie, Creature from the Black Lagoon, opened nationwide on this date.
Julie Adams noted that making the film was an extremely pleat process, and that the cast and crew got along quite well. She also explained that she felt sympathetic toward the monster. Adams said, “There always is that feeling of compassion for the monster. I think maybe it touches something in ourselves, maybe the darker parts of ourselves, that long to be loved and think they really can’t ever be loved. It strikes a chord within us.“
