Movie Reviews of Legend of the Lost (1957)
Movie Review: A Real Lost Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a great movie... but it is a GRAND one. It is also one of my top ten favorite movies of all time... because it is so "atmospheric"... it is one of those wonderful movies that will literally transport you to a different time and place. The lush musical score (which does NOT sound "science fiction" at all, if anything it more closely resembles the scores of the old Roman gladiator genre films), the wind in the sands and beautiful Sophia, at her technicolour best, make this film great fun to watch. How could you top such lines as "I can cook, I can live, I can breathe!" and the Duke putting the make on Sophia Loren who retorts "Oh no, NOT YOU!!" Well, this is definitely a movie to curl up with on a rainy Sunday morning. This film is less of an adventure film and more a story of 3 very different people who's lives are brought together and how they play against each other. Fantastic.Movie Review: Get lost in another time
Summary: 5 Stars
Who thinks up the character names? Joe January (John Wayne) drifter, Dita (Sophia Loren) of ill repute, and Paul Bonnard (Rossano Brazzi) bible thumper, teem up to look for a lost city and possibly a lost treasure. Paul has a map, Joe knows the territory, and Dita is fun to look at. There are a few inconsistencies and maybe not the best music but you can get lost in the story and have fun speculating as to what is happening next.
When they get to their destination they find more than a city. They find themselves and it isn't pretty.
So who gets what? Is there really a treasure? And just who is the good guy?

Movie Review: Legend of The Lost:Sophia's overlooked classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this film isnt considered among some of her best.... I have always considered it one of my favorites of her english language films primarily because of the main theme....redemption. Each character faces some kind of redemption in the plot of the story, and there is the score...which is haunting....Set in the backdrop of the african desert, the score conveys the barreness of the desert and the ghosts of the secrets it holds, ... the quest for lost treasure..intermingled with lost lives finding each other in some way....thru redemptionMovie Review: John Wayne Collection

My wife & I just watched this movie night before last & it is top of the line. We have it in our John Wayne DVD collection as we live way up in the hills & TV not that great & satellite cost to much so we watch our DVD collection each evening. Back when we purchased this movie it was hard to find but now with Amazon you can purchase them for a quarter of the price we bought this for years ago.This movie is outstanding plot, writing & acting wise. Me & my family think is is really a great movie.Movie Review: Searching In The Desert

The movie and its case were in excellent shape. The movie was a little steamy but why not with Sophia Loren as part of the cast. It was a different type of movie to see John Wayne in though. Thanks RWM
