Dramatic Direction: Harry O. Hoyt. All of a sudden we have a new, much improved restoration of 1. The Lost World, the first feature- length prehistoric fantasy to combine live action and elaborate stop- motion models. Retaining the basic story idea of the popular 1. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the movie adds a romantic subplot that doesn’t intrude: “Because the public, bless ’em, must have a pretty face.” It’s the template for dozens of ‘lost world’ stories to follow; it captured the imagination of millions and increased the popularity of dinosaurs. My first contact with Doyle’s well written, exciting and imaginative book came after seeing the inferior 1.
Irwin Allen lizards- in- latex version. As a teenager I studied every frame of my 8mm digest version of the silent picture. So did a whole generation of ‘monster kids,’ who through Forrest J. Ackerman’s Famous Monsters magazine, learned to worship Willis O’Brien, King Kong, Mighty Joe Young. But it all began with The Lost World.
This new version runs ten minutes longer than anything I’ve seen. One must be careful with such comparisons because silent films can be projected at differing frame rates. It seemed to me that a substantial amount of material is new. The quality overall is much better. At a big scientist’s meeting in London, hotheaded paleontologist Professor Challenger (Wallace Beery) attacks newsmen when they scoff at his claims of a plateau in the upper Amazon, a ‘Lost World’ where prehistoric monsters roam. He must return there to prove his findings, and going with him are four intrepid types. Paula White (Bessie Love) is the daughter of Maple White, the Professor’s partner who disappeared on the first trip.
Famous big game hunter Sir John Roxton (Lewis Stone) is smitten with Paula, although she’s young enough to be his daughter. Professor Summerlee wants to catalog bugs along the way.
XVIDEOS The Secret Sex Lives of Romeo and Juliet free. Gnomeo & Juliet is a 2011 British-American 3D computer-animated fantasy romantic comedy family film loosely based on William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. A good title can go a long way toward generating enthusiasm for a horror movie, and The Bye Bye Man has such a title. It’s childish, but in a creepy way.
Reporter Edward Malone (Lloyd Hughes) needs to prove himself a man, so as to impress his girlfriend Gladys (Alma Bennett) back in London. The expedition endures thrilling adventures, especially after they become trapped atop the plateau with hundreds of fearsome dinosaurs and a menacing ape man (Bull Montana). As a silent production The Lost World is first- class. The leading roles are played by well- known stars; although the story soon boils down to a simple jungle romance, the characters are clearly defined.
Street scenes in London are impressive in scale, and the jungle ambience is a rich mix of back lot greenery and O’Brien glass mattes. The art direction lacks the classical Gustav Doré- inspired look of King Kong but the show has its share of unforgettable images, such as the dinosaur pushing the log from the top of the plateau, or the stampede of giant reptiles fleeing an exploding volcano. If one showed Jurassic Park to primitive people now (are there any left?) they’d most likely accept the monsters as 1. The Lost World may have had the same effect with ordinary audiences of 1. King Kong knocked viewers out of their seats by what many thought to be a real gorilla, and many viewers of this picture may have been fooled.
When First National’s movie version was under way, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is said to have shown test reels of dinosaur footage at speaking engagements, pretending that they were the real thing. As Professor Challenger, an impossibly young Wallace Beery sports a thick black beard and a bad temper that disappears as soon as the expedition is underway. Doyle based the character partly on Percy Fawcett, the real- life South American explorer featured in 2. The Lost City of Z. Sir Arthur reportedly identified with Challenger, who became his favorite character in his later years. Bessie Love’s star faded soon into the sound era but as a bit player she showed up in seemingly everything made in England in the 1.
She’d peak with the lead in the Oscar- winning musical The Broadway Melody. Her main function is to be both the ‘pretty face’ and the brave woman on the expedition. Paula White shows as much spirit as the men do. It was years before Lewis Stone would play Andy Hardy’s father at MGM, but he doesn’t look particularly young here as the dignified, fearless big game hunter Roxton. The young lead Lloyd Hughes and ‘Professor Summerlee’ Arthur Hoyt were also big silent picture names. Hoyt is present mostly to look at bugs, etc; but Hughes carries the romance, both serious and humorous. We kids loved the Famous Monsters photos of Bull Montana’s scary ape- man, a really fine makeup job made better with an interesting, non- monkey man performance.
The ape is plugged into the story for thrills and some easy suspense, but he’s still effective. The digest versions of The Lost World hacked the film down to nothing, but even my 8mm fragment retained the character of Zambo, the black porter. Jules Cowles plays him in blackface, and his only acting seems to be flashing his eyes nervously. Zambo and a cockney porter stay at the base camp and make comments about the action atop the plateau, with their inter- title dialogue reflecting their ethnicity. Zambo says words like ‘gwine,’ etc., but isn’t characterized as cowardly. In the final Science Hall scene, he’s sitting with the rest of the adventurers, dressed in a tuxedo.
The 1. 92. 5 release was a smash success but, like King Kong, it didn’t launch a wave of copycat movies. O’Brien’s integration of stop- motion photography with split screens, mattes, and multiple exposures were too advanced and too expensive. Several shots of the brontosaurus in London use advanced traveling mattes to paste the entire animated figure into live- action shots.
The Lost World of course influenced Kong, which carries over a number of concepts and incidents. When the apeman leans out of a cave and pulls up a rope ladder on which the humans are trying to escape, we immediately think of Kong, both at the deep gorge, and on his mountaintop fortress. Today’s fans, the ones with no appreciation of the evolution of movies, will likely not appreciate the glory of O’Brien’s work.
Impressive split screens put live- action people together with the monsters. Animated scenes are given scale and texture with the addition of running rivers and smoke.
The mattes are often artful, and difficult to detect. Marcel Delgado’s monster puppets were based on dinosaurs in paintings in Chicago museums. Some of them have realistic skins and claws, but others are oddly proportioned and under- articulated. These less anatomically convincing dinos have a clay- like appearance and little flipper forearms. Unintentional humor results when several of them are made to snarl by curling their lips – they sneer like cartoon characters. One dino, after pushing a brontosaurus off a cliff, appears to do a comedian’s double- take. But for every odd anthropomorphism there is something startling or spectacular.
A giant ceratosaurus and styracosaurus are not only more detailed than the other creatures, but are also much better animated.
Romeo e Giulietta (1. IMDb. Dwarfed by the - superior- version of Zephirelli (1. Riccardo Freda movie in not devoid of interest ; the two principals who were 2. Cukor ones ,Leslie Howard (4. Norma Shearer (3. Geronimo Meynard who plays Romeo is youthful and rather cute ,but his performance is a bit monotonous - it was to be his very last movie- ; The same goes for Rosemary Dexter who is a lovely Juliet ,but we find it hard to believe that these two are eaten with desire and passion.
On the other hand ,the cinematography is splendid indeed ,with superb landscapes and the lovers are nicely filmed ; the movie is rather short,and all happens quickly ,perhaps too quickly ,with scenes too hurried for comfort,but there's never a dull moment; Freda ,who was good at horror movies ,suceeds in making the last scene in vault perfectly gruesome . Good use of classical music .
