The Lost World (1960)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 98m
Director: Irwin Allen
Cast: Claude Rains, Michael Rennie, David Hedison, Jill St John
Synopsis:
Professor Challenger and his team crash land near an unexplored plateau in Venezuela, where they discover primitive man and living dinosaurs!
Review:
Arthur Conan Doyle's novel in its second movie outing is a film held in much affection by this reviewer, because certain sequences such as the escape along the crumbling footpath past the lava pool infested with giant lizards caught my imagination and stuck with me as a child. It is possible now to sneer at the writing, acting, the sets, and even the effects work, but it is one of those films, few in number, which are so preposterous as to be enormous fun.
