One Million Years B.C. (1966) When Hammer Films produced their remake of the 1940 prehistoric drama One Million B.C. they decided to add a couple of spectacular features to guarantee audience interest. Of course, I'm not referring to the Ray Harryhausen special effects or the sumptuous Canary Island locations, but instead the visual of Raquel Welch in a fur bikini. (And yes I went there!) While the details may not be totally authentic (people and dinosaurs in the same time period; Raquel's false eyelashes) this is an entertaining movie, doing a slight twist on the ol' Romeo and Juliet plot: he (John Richardson) is Tumak, from the savage Rock Tribe; she (Welch) is Loana, from the more peaceful Shell Tribe. The Rocks and the Shells don't get along, dinosaurs attack, and eventually a nearby volcano erupts for a fiery climax. Interestingly, this is played out without English dialogue, with only a few grunted words and names to supplement the visuals. Harryhausen supplies his usual splendid stop motion beasties, though a real iguana and tarantula make it in as enlarged "dinosaurs" too. The cast plays it very straight, though I would love to see the bloopers as there had to be some giggles and breakups over the actions and grunting they were performing. Welch is absolutely iconic in costume, with one particular publicity photo serving as the movie's poster, a separate poster, and the illustration used nearly every time this movie is mentioned in a reference book or magazine. However, it must be mentioned that Martine Beswicke (Thunderball) is in support here as a particularly wild member of the Rock Tribe and though she's never been less than beautiful in any movie I've seen her in, she is at the absolute peak of her pulchritude in this movie. In fact, though I would think the producers meant for Welch to stand out far above all of her castmates in the looks department, I'm afraid this particular viewer would say that Martine walks away with the Hottest trophy. But maybe that's just me. In any case, this movie gets a solid recommendation, so check it out!
