Like this film greatly. A late 40's B-grade adventure with good actors, not a bad story, and in color which was unusual for a film of this type at the time. A conglomeration of characters go on a photo safari to a lost island chock full of Z-grade, sluggish dinosaurs. The characters are a selfish obsessed photographer, his moneyed fiancé, a traumatized survivor of the island, a lecherous out of control ship's captain, and a shipload of blood-thirsty Lascars. The best part is when the crazed captain gets his from what is called a giant sloth but is best described as a gigantopithecus. The color is surprisingly good. At 73 minutes it doesn't wear out its welcome. The Image Entertainment DVD is very good. Probably the best quality that's available. Highly recommended.
