one million years bc (1966)

A story of love and jealousy amongst the dinosaurs! Banished by his tribe, Tumak is forced to wander and survive on own. He stumbles across a tribe of gentle people living by the sea, but he's soon in trouble with them as well and has to leave, but not before he has made an impression on Loana who decides to go with him to brave the harshness of this pre-historic world.
Featuring animation by Ray Harryhausen, and some up and coming Hollywood talent, this is Hammer in blockbuster mode. Hardly a historic classic - since when did dinosaurs share the earth with cavemen? But the distraction of Raquel Welsh in a fur bikini takes your mind off such things. An old fashioned adventure story done well. Enjoyable nonsense and much better than 10,000 BC the recent Roland Emmerich epic.
