the lost world (1960)

aka Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World.
Professor Challenger, an anthropologist, claims to have found living dinosaurs in the Amazon and challenges the London Zoological Society to mount an expedition. A motley selection step forward to undertake the journey, a socialite, a professor, an explorer, a reporter and the daughter of the newspaper magnet who is funding the exhibition. Along with a local guide they travel to a plateau and soon discover Challenger was indeed right. But they also find more than they bargained for...
A rip-roaring adventure from start to finish, made more so by the obvious lizards dressed as dinosaurs, rather than the stop motion that one might expect. One for a saturday afternoon matinee.
