Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: The "Starburst" is the size of a dustbin lid, several inches thick and made of solid gold. Yet, not only can an old man with altitude sickness run around holding it with one hand, but Pachacutec at the end can seemingly hold it up above his head indefinitely.

Don't expect any Indiana Jones thrills and spills from this adventure movie, the accent is on character development and 'man's hunger for gold'. The leading characters bear a passing resemblance to Walter Huston and Humphrey Bogart in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre". Charlton Heston was born to play the roguish adventurer Harry Steele and Thomas Mitchell is perfect as the seedy, treacherous Ed Morgan, a grizzled old man with food stains on his cardigan. I was particularly looking forward to seeing Yma Sumac after reading and hearing so much about her. 'The Peruvian Songbird' didn't disappoint me, she even injected a little humour into her part, I got the impression that her character secretly had the hots for Robert Young, but this wasn't explored. The set designs, the music and the location shots make "Secret of the Incas" a very pleasurable experience. I taped the movie last year when channel Five showed it one Sunday afternoon. The logo previewing it during the adverts, to The Beatles singing 'Do You Want To Know a Secret' was a bit misleading ... 'Coming up next, Spanish Conquistadors, Buried Treasure, Peru AND Charlton Heston'. There are no Spanish Conquistadors in the film, if you want those guys see "The Royal Hunt of the Sun".
