strapping handsome lad of 6'4 that he was. He was scouted out and given a $100 a week contract under Arthur Lubin, creator of the TV series Mr. Ed, who put the raw, untrained kid right into some drama classes. There were, through the mid-1950s, a few undistinguished roles for Clint, a sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon and Francis in the Navy, directed by Lubin.

It's the definitive alien encounter movie. Yeah. And remains so. Yes, I think so, it was. It's interesting, because it's a film that hasn't had sequels, it hasn't remained an active franchise in the way that Star Wars or Jurassic Park, or even, you know, sort of...

It's on a list of properties that have a certain name recognition. It's probably reached the point where maybe it's a little too obscure. But you think of other science fiction properties.

fee. And the third was, I don't want to call it any name of a sequel. I want to call it The Godfather Part II. And basically the answer was the first condition was fine.
