Creature from the Black Lagoon?

Uhh... I'd have to give it about a 3.5 because while it was a unique movie for that decade, many of the characters had typical personalities or stereotypical character designs. The native people who lived along the Amazon river (territory of the creature) looked exactly like Mowgli from the jungle book...despite the movie taking place in the 1950's...There was only one female in the movie, and she was given the personality of the careless, submissive, damsel in distress who swims in lakes with feral animals. And at the end as usual, the good looking protagonist saves the previous female from the evil creature of the black lagoon when they invaded his home in the first place...I'm glad I live in the era that i do.
