CAST REVIEWS Review by James D. Haeberle (posted on 29-Apr-2007) Considering its age and the limited special effects which were available then, this film is still a timeless success. The screen play, scenery, and casting all contribute to its memorable excitement. James Mason and Thayer David (sometimes known as David Thayer) give the film more class than it would otherwise have had.
Jewel-encrusted caverns and constant adventure make this an appealing film to the eye and the mind. This reviewer first saw the film at the age of 9 or 10 and has never tired of it.
Dimetrodons and other prehistoric creatures are done quite well. Pat Boone's poor Scottish accent doesn't detract much from the enjoyment of the film after the first half-hour or so. His acting is otherwise quite good.
If you think you've seen David Thayer somewhere before, you probably have. He was a star of the famous spooky soap "Dark Shadows" on TV. He also announced the results of the title fight at the end of the original Rocky. His diction and beautifully modulated voice make him one of the few actors who could really hold his own on the screen with James Mason.
