Creature from the Black Lagoon opened

March 5, 1954
The Classic B movie, Creature from the Black Lagoon, premiered on this date.

Two different stuntmen were used to portray the creature, and therefore, two different suits were used in the movie. Ricou Browning played the creature when it was in the water and wore a lighter suit, Ben Chapman played the creature when it was out of the water with a darker suit.
