the lost world (1925)


"Why didn't you say that before!"
Professor Challenger (Wallace Beery) returns to London full of stories of Dinosaurs in the South American jungle. Inevitably no-one believes him, but a newspaper is prepared to fund another expedition, as long as a reporter Edward Malone (Lloyd Hughes) and hunter Sir John Roxton (Lewis Stone) are allowed to tag along.
The first filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic novel, and fascinating due to its age and how well they've adapted the material.
