Hello, ASAAR:

No, it was shot in B&W, as were its two sequels, "Revenge of the Creature"
(1955) and "The Creature Walks Among Us" (1956).

Here are some "Gill-man" links:

Wikipedia - Creature from the Black Lagoon
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creature_from_the_Black_Lagoon>

Internet Movie Database (IMDb) - Creature from the Black Lagoon (2009)
<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485799>

(Note: According to that second Web page, the upcoming movie remake will
be in Technicolor!)


Cordially,
