    Solid-gold

    One Million Years B.C. is THE film that made me a movie fan and lover of all things prehistoric! Ray Harryhausen's creatures are great, the music adds superbly to the atmosphere, the location photography looks just right (just ignore the occasional obvious set), and there has never been a better-looking cavegirl than Raquel Welch!

    A solid-gold guilty pleasure! Actually, what's there to be guilty about? This film is solid-gold entertainment!
