The Abominable Snowman (1957)
Director: Val Guest
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Hammer's botch of Nigel Kneale's teleplay The Creature, about an expedition to the Himalayas. Tucker wants to exploit the Yeti, so gets killed; Cushing doesn't, so is allowed to live. The creatures, glimpsed just briefly in their gorilla suits, are hardly worth the dreary trip.Author: TM
