one of my favorite films of all time is the creature from the black lagoon. it always amused and intrigued me from the first time i saw it as a kid. on the news today that the composer of the film's score, herman stein, died over the weekend at the age of 91, i just had to post this video of the trailer and one of the most famous scenes from the movie - the swimming sequence. it was also one on the first films in 3d. what a blast!
stein was not only known for setting the tone for science fiction movie music but also wrote for such tv shows as gunsmoke, lost in space and daniel boone. boy, am i dating myself...
and talk about beefcake...

swim sequence
do you think this may be where they came up with the idea for synchronized swimming?
