Just finished watching the DVD based on several comments on how much better the wide screen version is and it really is a much more satisfying experience in scope. This is a quintessential B monster movie, right up there with The Blob, and although by mainstream cinematic standards it's rubbish it certainly is a lot of fun. The final alligator man (who looks more like a crocodile) is ludicrous but the transitional make-up is very good, which brings me to a question: Dick Smith (I assume it's the Dick Smith) is credited with make-up along with Ben Nye. I've seen many pictures of Nye working on the alligator suit, which may just be publicity shots, but does anyone know what function Smith actually performed on this picture?
