ISLAND OF THE DINOSAURS 1967 (BCI)

Little known Mexican film.

Four people travel by plane for an expedition and are blown off course. The plane crashes on an uncharted piece of land inhabited by dinosaurs and cave people.

Armando Silvestre is Molo, a caveman who lives on the island and leads a tribe. He is thrown out and finds his way to where the four explorers are and falls for a young woman named Laura.

This is basically a Mexican version of "One Million BC" from 1966. The film contains tons of stock footage from "One Million BC" made in 1940 as well as numerous other films. However. This is still a fun film from Mexico andd should be enjoyed by people who like these kinds of films.

Alma Delia Fuentes is rather fetching as Laura, the woman who elects to stay with her caveman lover at the end of the film. If you haven't seen it, I would recommend it.
