Reviews
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
trimbolicelia Early 60's, definitely not great, adventure film. A trio of adventurers go on a trek through jungle and desert to find a lost Inca city and a fabulous treasure. Of course there are good guys who want to preserve what they and bad guys who want to make a buck and are not above killing. Though the principle actors are American, they sound like their own voices were dubbed in. The hero's voice sound like another actor, maybe Robert Fuller from Wagon Train and Emergency. Not terrible, but even though the film is only about 71 minutes long the journey makes it seem longer. The film needs re-mastering. Since this is an obscure B film it is not likely to be restored. Recommended for fans of the genre.
R. Nathan Hund I've never watched a movie that was so unremarkable. There's plenty of remarkable things in bad movies. Remarkable things in good movies. I gave this a "5" because it is so totally unremarkable. The screenplay is about as straight ahead as you can imagine. At 70 minutes it pretty much says what it's going to do and gets on with doing it. Very much 1962 production values. My print had washed out very badly.There must be some comment you can make on this one's merit...but I can't think of it.
