The Land that Time Forgot (1974)

£0.00


Country: US/GB
Technical: col 91m
Director: Kevin Connor
Cast: Doug McClure, John McEnery, Susan Penhaligon

Synopsis:

A U-boat with survivors from a torpedoed ship goes off course and finds itself off an island called Caprona, peopled with primitive savages and dinosaurs.

Review:

Ah, the very special career of Doug McClure, who found his way into no end of films supposedly playing an Englishman... Still, he lent some transatlantic appeal to creature features like this one, which was based on Edgar Rice Burroughs but was really just an excuse for Amicus to do dinosaurs for the younger audience (i.e. without Hammer's skimpily clad cheesecake). Herein they are mostly of the mechanical variety. All good fun, although memory is kind.
