The LAND THAT TIME FORGOT

The LAND THAT TIME FORGOT
   Film (1975). Amicus. Dir Kevin Connor, starring Doug McClure, John McEnery, Susan Penhaligon. Screenplay Michael MOORCOCK, James CAWTHORN, adapted from The Land that Time Forgot (1924) by Edgar Rice BURROUGHS. 95 mins. Colour.
   This UK film was the first of 3 LOST-WORLD Burroughs adaptations produced by Amicus, the others being AT THE EARTH'S CORE (1976) and The PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT (1977). A German U-boat - with acontingent of male Germans, Britons and one American, plus a young woman - discovers Caprona, a long-lost landmass near the South Pole. It is crawling with prehistoric monsters and cavemen who do their best to destroy the invaders, with little success. The film ends with a volcanic eruption and the marooning of the hero and heroine. The various monsters are unconvincing. The script by Moorcock and Cawthorn was altered extensively by the producers.
