105 years ago today, future director Jack Arnold was born in Connecticut.  Arnold started his film career making documentaries and he ended it directing episode of The Brady Bunch and The Love Boat.  In between all of that, he directed some of the best-remembered “creature” films of the 1950s.  Anytime you see a movie featuring giant monsters, you’re seeing a film that owes a debt to the work of Jack Arnold.  Arnold also directed the classic Creature of the Black Lagoon.

Today, in honor of Jack Arnold, TSL is proud to present….
