Low-Budget Monster Flick! — Mary Anna Evans

Gorgeous babes in white bathing suits.
Weary young men, happy to be home from Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima.
Palm trees. Spanish moss. Glass-clear water.
Ambition. Murderous jealousy. The culture clash between Hollywood and the repressed sexuality of mid-20th century America.
Alligators.
Lots and lots of alligators…
What could possibly go wrong?
