DESTINATION INNER SPACE (1966). If You go into this expecting a Filet Mignon, You will be disappointed, But if all You want is a big juicy hamburger, You will probably enjoy DIS. An underwater sea station finds a wrecked space ship underwater and one of the crew foolishly brings back a cylinder which expands and a snarling monster pops out. There is also the pre-requisite love triangle and Science aspiration to study the monster.
Very very cheesy;;;the sets are so low budget;You would swear You are looking at bathtub toys and the monster looks like, as CREEPY CLASSICS rightfully said, "A cross between a Christmas tree and The Creature From The Black Lagoon!" So nothing earth shattering, but worth a look. And while watching, I could have sworn I had seen the plot somewhere else and it was-a-couple-of years-in-the-making THE GREEN SLIME. **1/2

STRANGLER OF THE SWAMP (1946). Very very low budget, yet atmospheric PRC quickie. Accused of a crime He didn't commit, a Ferry operator is executed. Hisvghosts prowls around the (quite small) swampy area, bumping off those who wronged him as well as relatives. A new Ferry Operator-a Young woman tries to save her boyfriend, whose father was involved in the crime and a pretty decent wrap-up.
Only people I know of here are Rosemary LaPlanche (Miss California for three years running and Miss America before putting her lovely self into films) and Blake Edwards as her boyfriend. After a few roles, Blake decided to change occupations , becoming more involved in the technical side, eventually directing movies such as BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S, DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES, THE PNK PANTHER, S.O.B. and VICTOR/VICTORIA and marrying Julie Andrews. ***
