Customer Reviews

The story was adjusted a bit from the book.

O.K., it was adjusted a lot. Leo Vincey (Randolph Scott), all grown up, is fresh back from the U.S., so he does not have to have an English accent. His dying uncle points to a portrait of a 500-year-old Vincey in a Prince Valiant haircut that is the spitting image of Leo. Then, with old sci-fi equipment in the background, he is told a tale of radiation and a woman who will live forever; Doctor Watson (oops) Horace Holly is standing by. For readers who are familiar with the book, you are in for some laughs. Because the Vincey explorer was only five hundred years ago, all the majors can speak English (or pidgin English). There is a native scene right out of Kong and a second with a sacrifice and a ritual dance. Can it be that this is the same director, producer Merian C. Cooper, known for King Kong? On a more serious side, the eternal questions posed in the book were replaced with a love story made for two. Helen Gahagan is a rather unique name, so I looked it up in Ephraim Katz's "The Film Encyclopedia"; it turns out that, among other things, she was married to Melvyn Douglas and was the author of "The Eleanor Roosevelt We Remember" (1963). A Democratic congresswoman. And was defeated by Richard Nixon in her bid for a Senate seat.
