I don't think it is. I just found the French poster interesting and this is where I put it because I didn't want to start a new thread for it or hunt up a more appropriate one. It should be noted, however, that even monster royalty like CFTBL has exploitive elements, like exploiting Julie Adams sex appeal in what was considered a risqué high-cut swimsuit, and the violence The Creature inflicted on some of the humans in the film. But, by my definition, Creature From The Black Lagoon is a Monster Classic and not an Exploitation Film. It's my favorite movie, and I would never disrespect it.

The term "Exploitation Film" is loosely defined and means different things to different people. Here's a Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploitation_film

Again, I don't think CFTBL is an Exploitation Film. If we're splitting hairs it shouldn't have been posted in this thread.

I don't have a problem at all with you posting it in this thread. I love that poster and I even have a reprint of it in my room. I was just curious if my favorite movie of all time was actually considered a exploitative science fiction film for its time.

Ghost In The Invisible Bikini (1966)

With "Losin" Susan Hart, who let time slip away in her greed and refused to sell the rights to some of our favorite AIP monster flicks for proper DVD releases. That's okay, Suzie. We got the boots and you got nothin', honey.

Here's the Fred Olen Ray take on this film:

Starring Nicole Sheridan who, ahem, puts Susan Hart to shame..
