The Snow Creature
The Snow Creature is a 1954 blackandwhite scifi monster movie produced and directed by W. Lee Wilder, written by Myles Wilder, and starring Paul Langton and Leslie Denison.
The Yeti is eventually sedated and placed in a telephone boothsized freezer. Trapped inside this icebox, the Yeti is transported to Bombay to be flown to California. In an odd geographic twist, the return flight heads west from India to California via TWA beginning the second act. Upon reaching Los Angeles, Parrish is greeted by reporters who have been made aware of the creatures existence. A U.S. Customs official informs Parrish that the admission of this creature to the U.S. has been made difficult by a newspaper article published by Peter Wells that refers to the creature using the term man. The issue is raised whether the snowcreature is actually human and the officials decide to keep the creature in quarantine until an anthropologist can determine the question of the creatures humanity. It is during this delay at the airports customs station that the snow creature manages to escape the ice box which was apparently meant to confine him temporarily only. The snow creature roams the city, terrorizing a woman and finding refuge in the cool temperature of the citys sewers as well as meatlockers where it can also feed. The police, aided by Parrish, manage to track the Yeti through the sewer system and, where the creature is caught in a net and grabbed bymen. As the creature resists it starts to choke one of the men through the mesh. One of the men shoots the creature once who then stops choking the man. Theres a pause after the choked man had been released and then the man with the gun decides to shoot the rare creature with three more slugs just for good measure. Thus, one of the greatest finds of all time is dead.The Snow Creature was the first of several YetiAbominable Snowmanthemed movies. It also bore some resemblance to King Kong in terms of plot, with act one in an exotic setting, and act two taking place in an urban setting. The use of the Los Angeles storm drain system as the films climactic setting can also be seen in the 1954 film, Them. ........
