The Valley of Gwangi (1969)
Country: US
Technical: col 96m
Director: James O'Connolly
Cast: Richard Carlson, Laurence Naismith, James Franciscus, Gila Golan
Synopsis:
A cowboy captures an allosaurus in a remote Mexican valley, and determines to make a fortune displaying it in the arena.
Review:
Cowboys and dinosaurs... we have to be in the world of Ray Harryhausen. As usual with his stop-motion work, there are difficulties integrating the creatures with live action footage, though the ingenious lengths to which he goes to do this are impressive in themselves, notably in the lassoing scenes. The predictable plot and yawnworthy dialogue take second place to the 'Dynamation', however, meaning that modern audiences will have little truck with the picture now.
