From the Folks Who Brought You The Little Rascals!
2 January 2010
I saw this on late night TV some 40 years ago. It has not been available on DVD and I was always curious about it. Behold, it shows up on TCM. I had fond memories. It turns out to be slow moving sludge with very little excitement, reproducing a cave culture of little interest. The dinosaur scenes, which have become stock footage for other bad movies, are just iguanas and alligators with fins on their backs. Victor Mature, one of the dullest actors in history, mumbles and grunts his way through this thing. I had forgotten that it is a story being narrated by a recluse who is being visited by some hikers. They then play a part in the visuals. I don't mean to dis it too much. It's just not what I thought it was. Hal Roach was a bit of a pioneer, but this is just not very interesting or entertaining.
