Trailer 9 of 694
It's not exactly "The Lost Weekend", but Oscar-winner Ray Milland does pretty well for himself by this low-budget but intriguingly Promethean 1963 sci-fi outing from Roger Corman, which anticipates the alternate reality concepts of his later "The Trip". Of course the trailer is more interested in the "X-ray specs" aspects of the idea, like seeing through women's clothes!
Inside mother earth; Caroline Monroe and Godzilla's country cousins. Who knew? Always thought LAND THAT TIME FORGOT managed to look way classier than it's budgetary constraints (no mean feat...
The one original touch: a caveman monster with veins that go ACROSS his nostrils (look fast and you can see him in the trailer). Umm, other than that...
I have a great fondness for this daft film. I remember running around my grandad's garden with a hankerchief I found tied around my hand because I saw Doug McClure do it in either this or another Conner film promting my grandad to ask of I'd hurt myself...
"Phoned it in so intensely, you can almost hear the dial tones" That line is better than anything in this film..
I agree with Bernard that the distributor's desire to remove their logo from film is a good indicator that the director has made something worth seeing. Maybe that fact should've been included in the trailer- perfect anti-Valentine's Day flick
Agreed, Brian. I always appreciate the background you provide and, yes, Mr Connor did the best he could with what he was given...
