Title: "I ain't gonna quit shootin' Gators!"
Review: Lon Chaney Jr.'s role stood out in this movie as the drunken swamp rat Manon, who lost his left hand to an alligator. His hatred for the critters is evident as he runs over one with his truck and stands by the swamp one night with his pistol, blasting away, but not hitting a damn thing! At this stage in his life, Chaney probably had playing a drunk down pat since he was reportedly drunk while filming a lot of his movies.The Alligator People is a typical campy 1950s horror flick, but it's good fun to watch on a Saturday night with a bucket of popcorn.The scenes in the Louisiana swamp and at the plantation add a spooky ambiance to the movie, which really helped it along.
