Did you know
- TriviaAllegedly, Peter Lorre was so appalled by the script that he immediately fired his agent for trying to get him a part in the movie.
- GoofsThere are a number of continuity errors during Dr. Lombardi's first performance at Tim Chappel's home: 1) when the dancer finishes, Ted and Dorothy shift to her position in the following shot, 2) during their conversation, the patio curtains are drawn wider in long shots than in closer shots, 3) when Lt. James finishes talking to Ted and leaves the frame, he is gone from the following wide shot, 4) Ted takes his seat twice, 5) the cutaways to Lt. James show him in a lit room when in all other shots the lights are dim, and 6) when Dr. Lombardi announces the creature's appearance, Lt. James mounts the stage from the right, but it is clear from preceding shots that he was nowhere in that vicinity.

Featured review
THE SHE-CREATURE (1956) is certainly one of the more interesting monsterific creations of Paul Blaisdell but the film suffers from a pace slower than death itself and characters as cardboard as a Hallmark card. The idea is perhaps lifted from the Bridey Murphy story wherein a woman is placed under a major hypnotic trance and made to revert to former lives. In this one, the heroine goes all the way back to her prehistoric past and becomes the title creature, complete with scales, Stone Age hooters, a tail and back with Godzilla-like plates. THE SHE-CREATURE must be seen to be believed. This is American-International Pictures, which cranked out a lot of great matinee fun but this monster just about tops them all. A hopelessly inept Chester Morris is terrible as the hypnotist and the cast proceeds at a funereal pace. See it for the monster, it's the only reason to bother!
