1966 - ONE MILLION YEARS BC, the dinosaurs and bikini epic

Hammer Studios remake of the rather shoddy original film from the 1940's is an adolescent male fantasy.


The film has some of Ray Harryhausen's best animation work with some great monsters.


The film also was a breakout part for an ungrateful Raquel Welch who apparently didn't want to have anything to do with the film.  Well she still looks great with her cave girl false eyelashes and makeup job.

The film was patronized by the critics when it was released but it is an entertaining "B" movie adventure film.

100 minutes. Written by producer Michael Carreras who has his name all over a lot of these Hammer Films.
