WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH
- WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH
Film (1969). Hammer/Warner. Dir Val Guest, starring Victoria Vetri, Robin Hawdon, Patrick Allen. Screenplay Guest, from story by J.G. BALLARD. 100 mins. Colour.
This was originally written by J.G. Ballard, but director Guest got to the script and eliminated anything expensive, original or intellectual. Still a bit livelier than most prehistoric romances, this is one of a series of them made by Hammer, the first being ONE MILLION YEARS BC (1966). The usual story: woman of one tribe (Vetri) falls for man ofanother (Hawdon) and also makes friends with a dinosaur. Those who stand between the star-crossed lovers are conveniently wiped out by vast tides whipped up by a still gaseous Moon (a survival from Ballard's original story, which made much of astronomical cataclysms). The dinosaurs and giant crabs were designed by a team led by Jim Danforth.
