The Amphibian Man Trailer (extra on The Amphibian Man DVD (Russian Cinema Council)). [Category: Commercial]

Trailer for the early-60s Russian movie The Amphibian Man. This is somewhat unusual as they used very little of the film’s soundtrack in the trailer, substituting classical music instead. This looks like Russia’s answer to The Creature from the Black Lagoon, except later you find out it’s just a guy in a suit. Hey, I didn’t give it away––the trailer did!

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: **. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: ***.
