“If you're not doing anything at all, four minutes is possible, but not if you're moving in the water. If you're swimming fast or fighting, you use up a lot of oxygen, and it cuts it down to, at the most, two minutes.” - Ricou Browning
Ricou Browning played the Gill-man in all the underwater scenes for the three Creature from the Black Lagoon films, which were shot by a second unit in Wakulla Springs, Florida and at the studio lot.
The designer of the Gill-man was Disney animator, Milicent Patrick, though her role was deliberately downplayed by studio make-up artist, Bud Westmore, who for over 50 years claimed sole credit for the creature's conception.
Read Mallory O’Meara’s excellent book for more: “The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick.”
