Movie Reviews of Legend of the Lost (1957)
Movie Review: If you hate this flick, then you must be a yellow-bellied fundie bible-thumper!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, the story began on a rather incoherent note, and it certainly flew in the face of realism to see anybody camping out in an African jail and, for anything, threatening not to leave.
Some have questioned the realism of an apparently saintly character turning black instantaneously, but I challenge the notion that it really happened in such a fashion, as it did not appear so to me. People who live by unrealistic principles often hide the ticking time-bomb of lunacy and evil, which can be ignited when the ego which has maintained such an image is confronted with a shocking personal loss, the temptation of greed, and an obsessive sense of entitlement. Suddenly, they understand their god doesn't control much at all, and then Wayne's character rightly points out how it's the missionary who had been using his said god to control the world around himself. He wasn't prepared mentally for the lawlessness and brutality of the desert world which he had stepped into. The higher they get, the harder they fall.
Altogether, the movie was very entertaining, with lots of funny John Wayne one-liners, despite any holes in the storyline. The dialogue certainly provided food for thought on ambition vs. character, the brutal reality of life outside of civilization bubble, and the corruption of greed, but it's no surprise that it's more than those who are like the missionary character can handle.
