Cavemen prefer blondes

One Million Years B.C. (1966)

Directed by Don Chaffey this remake of the film of the same name stars Raquel Welch, John Richardson and Percy Herbert. A caveman is thrown out of his tribe and meets a woman from a more civilized tribe.

Much of the plot of this film is pretty ridiculous as obviously dinosaurs and man never co-existed and the lack of dialogue keeps things fairly basic. There are times when the story really drags and it does not help that a lot of the special effects have not aged well. Ray Harryhausen provides the stop motion dinosaurs which work a lot better than the oversized pets which are also used and just come off as silly.


1/5
