I agree with Bruce. Corman early films in b/w are hysterical. My favorite is Bucket of Blood...only there ain't no blood, but a send up of beatniks and conceptual art.
Creature starts with a chess game in a sleezy bar with a hot undercover operative and the narrators mission to Cuba. From a guy who mimics animals in his dialogue to a hot babe in a black sheath dress on the beach, this becomes a series of funny 3 stooges type script.
It is hard to describe the plot...but a Gilligan type goes under cover to find some gold? and make it with the look alike Anna Karina. A phone box in the middle of the jungle is hysterical..the movies is a collection of odd ball scenes, a creature that appears in the last 4 minutes of the film, a sinking boat, a boat captain who thoroughly looks like Humphrey Bogart in African Queen.
Shot on a 16mm silent camera, it was dialoged looped. You can do a lot with old 16mm film cameras and a Nagra audio recorder is you have talent and ingenuity and a low, low budget forcing you to be creative. Remember these were B movies with a super market budget, no Psycho budgets. Many are great and deserve to be watched again.
There is no spoiler, I am not sure how it ends.
