THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954). Vintage original 8 x 10 20 x 25 cm.

Black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo, USA. Richard Carlson, Julie Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, Ricou Browning, Ben Chapman, dir: Jack Arnold: Universal. Here is 6' 5 Ben Chapman making a photographic test as the famous Creature. Chapman was born in Oakland, California, while his Tahitian parents were on a trip to the United States. He was raised in Tahiti, relocated to the U.

In 1940 and went to school in the Bay Area of San Francisco. Working as a Tahitian dancer in nightclubs led to his first movie job, a bit in MGM's PAGAN LOVE SONG (1950); other small film roles followed before Korean War duty temporarily sidetracked his modest screen career. Talent scouts from Universal-International "discovered" Chapman upon his return, and for a year he became a U-I stock player -- and, at six-foot-five, an ideal choice for the finny title role in Jack Arnold's CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. Chapman played the creature in all scenes while on land while Ricou Browning, a much smaller actor played the role in the water scenes. The costumes were distinctly different particularly in the treatment of the torso section and the head.

Though Jack Kevan created a design for the creature, his was not used and uncredited Milicent Patrick is believed to have been the true designer. A classic of the 1950s horror/monster genre. Photo has ink stamp on verso "Photo by John Florea". Photo is borderless, ABOUT FINE.
