One Million B.C. (1940, Fantasy) Carole Landis & Lon Chaney Jr. | The World at the Dawn of Time!

[@RalphJohnson-l8d]

This is a classic. Man they don't make them like this anymore. I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. lizards and all !

[@michaelg2529]

Personally, I grew up with the 1966 "Raquel Welch in a fur bikini" version. I loved it, When i was growing up my mother favored this version instead. "Mom, there's not a single fur bikini anywhere in this movie! What is wrong with you?" (I love you and miss you, Mom)

[@billspooks]

I saw the bikini version, too.

[@josephgratzer]

I grew up with the 1966 version watching it for the dinosaurs only at first as a little kid. As an adult, I watched it for Raquel Welch only.

[@gypsylily2949]

Victor Mature is a beefcake!

[@spudspuddy]

the percussion effect/noise in the background of the rachel welch movie was just too loud and annoying

[@jeffreyrobinson6988]

I saw the 1966 version first as a young boy. I saw this version on TV when I was a teen.

With Carol Landis, we get to my final category where beauty and talent converge for immortality: unfathomable charsma.

[@Allencriss]

Enjoy these movies, Liked how the professor (Conrad Nigal) had them all so taken in and mesmerized. Overall, the minute details and personalities of people living a million years ago. LOL This was Ricard Widmark's second film after his debut. After the Great Depression era. Hollywood was battling itself for the next big epic to draw the ticket booth. The forties brought more adventure Westerns and Drama to the Silver Screen. Hollywood was searching for that next genre of film. Rom/Coms began to come in more as well as high sea /pirate adventures. Old Western Stars as Gene Autry were soon replaced with the Audie Murphys. The bigger name Stars, John Wayne was moved more into the limelight and James Stewart, Randolf Scott and Gary Cooper. The A list goes on and on. The lighter wholesome family comedy/light Dramas with child actors never really lost there appeal. Keeping audiences steady at the ticket booth. There was just that certain run of these great well produced/directed and acted Films. Really only a good strong two decades, but man are they still as good today as they sure were then

Providing future stock footage for every B sci-fi lost world adventure from "off on a comet" to "Robot monster" to "teenage caveman". also allosaurus suit that would be retooled for "unknown island" (1948) and (rumor has it) the inspiration for the suit actor method of the first Godzilla suit.

[@tl7089]

I have not seen this film for over 50 years and I loved it as a kid. I don't think it has been on UK tv since then so I thought I would treat myself to nostalgia. Everything about it is wonderfully cheesy and camp. Carole Landis is beautiful. It is a good print but unfortunatley has subtitles which is ironic as this is the one film of this period that does not need them. The only alternatives I found were colourised which is ten times worst. This film was totally different from anything in that period so enjoy.

[@gregrowell8688]

The scene whare Victor Mature wall along looking at the dying dinosaur, reminds of the scene in the 30s King Kong where Fys rescuers walk alongside of the dying Stegosaur.

Carole died at the age of 29 in 1948. S uicide. RiP.

[@Del-Canada]

Her final two films, Brass Monkey (1948) and Noose (1948) were released in 1948. On July 5, 1948, Carole committed suicide by taking an overdose of Seconal in her Brentwood Heights, California, home. She was only 29 and had made 49 pictures, most of which were, unfortunately, forgettable. If Hollywood moguls had given Carole a chance, she could have been one of the brightest stars in its history.
