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
