@@oddsteinardybvad-raneng Not at all! But there WERE two TV shows that DID give me nightmares. One was the original version of "The Mummy." The Mummy would sit at a table, and the region around his eyes would get darker and darker, And someone would be gasping, and die. I found that VERY creepy. The other was the "Thriller" episode, "The Hungry Glass," about an old woman who was obsessed with mirrors. She would dance in front of them, seeing herself as young and beautiful. They locked her in her bedroom, and locked the mirrors away in the attic. But she saw her reflection in the big plate glass window, and danced in front of it....and then...she danced too far! But she continued on...in the GLASS!
I enjoy these old classics where people worked hard to make the dinosaurs move without the aid of any computers. I don't care if you can tell that they aren't real, they seemed real to me back then - I'm 65 now. Thanks for the great upload.
It sure is strenuous climbing this mountain... Give me a cigarette. Ack! I just inhaled poison gas! Give me a cigarette. Ahh! A dinosaur! Give me a cigarette.
the actor here JOHN HOYT was a neighbor here in santa cruz calif. I used to see him all over town back when i was young . WHAT A CAREER HE HAD . he appeared in A LOT of old movies spanning 5o yrs. a true veteran actor.
@@michaelschramm1064 Also like him in 'When Worlds Collide' . He played the role of Sydney Stanton, the greedy wheel chair bound millionaire. One of my all time favorite movie..
Hillary Brooke- played the mom in "Invaders From Mars" 1953. In her memoirs she said she was treated with deference by the guys at A&C show- was never made the object of one of the many practical jokes played on the set; really wished they hadn't put her up on a pedestal as she'd loved to have been a part of that.
Great to see John Hoyt…a great actor….underestimated….he adds quality in everything he did….he was the first doctor in Star Trek (The Cage)…also many scifi tv series and movies too 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊👍👍
@@NarleyAdventures…yep the best time…when you could actually choose what channel to watch instead of trying to find something on 300+ channels and missed the channel you wanted in the first place…🤣🤣🤣🤣….i really don’t watch TV anymore, too much garbage on it and nothing worthwhile to watch anymore….I watch the old movies instead, much better entertainment and less CGI/AI in them, a time when people were more real instead of avatars. 👍
Cesar Romero (the Joker from Batman), Hugh Beaumont (Leave it to Beaver), Hillary Brooke (The Abbott and Costello Show), Sid Melton (The Danny Thomas Show and Green Acres), Whit Bissell (guest star 3 time on the Rifleman, The Time Tunnel)
Gosh, Whit Bissel was an underrated but hard working actor. I've seen him in all kinds of movies and TV shows. Most will remember him as the commander of the Time Tunnel.
I've been watching 50s sci-fi since I was 5 or 6 years old and have never seen this one. I'm 73 now and have seen hundreds of these movies and this is one of the best, probably because it has some of the best character actors of the 40s and 50s. Cesar Romero was one of MGM'S biggest romantic leads in the 40s (AND the Joker in the 60s);Whit Bissell was the Mad doctor on call for American International; Sid Melton was a go-to for comedy relief; John Hoyt was everywhere, but his specialty was (what else?) rocket scientists; and Hugh Beaumont was an experienced actor who ended up as Beaver's dad. Not sure, but I think the dinosaurs were created by Willis O'brilen for the silent film "The Lost World."
Another one of Hollywoods magical inventions, the self cleaning aircraft windscreen/canopy, and the worst bit, in my experience, was trying to clean as close to an MDC (Miniature Detonation Cord) as possible without getting too close, even when I new it was safe, and tbh it always felt like pilots would deliberately find the biggest accumulation of winged insects 🦟 and repeatedly fly through it to really get the screen filled with their remains, even if it was only a short flight, they really knew how to piss us off.
Better than your average “atomic” movie, gotta say. The banter sounded believable, and the captain apologizing to the Russian scientist over a cigarette was gratifying. The comedy relief parachute guy wasn’t too over the top. Two thumbs up !
This channel has the biggest collection of old school cinema I have ever come across on RUclips! I've subscribed and plan to be here a lot rooting through all these gems. My comments on The Lost Continent is it seems like a one hour movie that needed to be expanded, so it was padded with an additional 20 plus minutes of straight mind numbing mountain climbing. Besides that it was an enjoyable little Lost World clone ( the movie they "borrowed" the dinosaurs scenes from). Thank you for posting it.
Back when actors were fit to do climbing scenes like this the studio had fun making these for this movie, I enjoyed watching this on TV in the 60's on Saturday night with commercials.
In the very early 1950's, the motion pictures that made it to television were usually pre-WWI films! If you were lucky, you might see a post-war, low-budget, B class movie! But, about 1953, a very few, early 1950's movies, began to appear. "Lost Continent" was one of them! To see it then, as I did, was like going to the movies, for free! Great little film!
Love this, love old movies…a good movie, kept me on my toes…thanks for sharing it….I’ve subscribed to this channel, I’m tired of watching CHI/AI crap, I like movies that actually do tell a good story, instead of all the action crap in today’s film’s of CGI/AI baloney, lewd language, and sexual overtones which only takes away from the film’s overall appeal, at least it does for me, there are many that have lost their touch in creating good storytelling and entertainment values …👍❤️🙏🏼
If you remember this was made in 1951 you can really enjoy this film. The use of color is wonderful and the first time I saw this movie it blew me away. It has an excellent cast. And yes, that's how people used to smoke cigarettes, disgusting to us now, but then atmospheric and sexy. Hard to believe isn't it.
@thomasgansevoort929....Yep, the constant cigarette smoking in the older movies is very noticeable to us today, but starting way back in the 1930's, the tobacco companies became very involved with Hollywood and knew that the movies would be a fantastic way to advertise and encourage smoking to millions of impressionable young people. The tobacco companies had contracts with some of the big studios where it was stated that smoking had to be shown in a large percentage of the scenes. Free cigarettes/cigars/pipe tobacco was given out freely to any actors/actresses who smoked. Many actors died from cigarette cancer as a result.
I talk like the men in this video...that mono tone type of accent, cause when a kid, of course, grew up watching these movies and so how the men spoke in these movies was embedded in me as a youth. I just figured every adult spoke like this, that mono tone, no accent type of talk... I was wrong, of course...lol
Even after 19 minutes I realized this movie was meandering on the pilots swinging bachelor lives. Maybe it was made to entertain military personnel. Check out the dramatic music backing up the boring mountain climb. 😊
It was such a great injustice when this spectacular movie didn’t win Oscars for best picture, best actor, best actress, best supporting actors, best special effects, best wardrobe, best screenplay and best soundtrack. I’m glad all the people involved in this brilliant film, like the director, producer, actors and entire production teams never created another film after this masterpiece out of protest for being shunned by the Academy of Motion Pictures. They were not only cinematographic geniuses, they were also extremely principled and honorable people. Cheers to all of the people who worked so hard to make this film the best sci-fi film in history. I think it’s safe to say that no future film will ever match the greatness of the breathtaking movie. Stanley Kubrick, Gene Roddenberry and Stephen Spielberg are just damned amateurs compared the director of this brilliantly done movie! It’s the best sci-fi movie in cinematographic history. The special effects, sounds, acting and plot are stunning. This is my 127th time I’ve seen this movie and every time I watch it I am even further filled with awe. Absolutely breathtaking! 2001, A Space Odyssey, Star Trek, Star Wars and all the other space genre movies combined can’t get close to scratching the surface of how great this one movie is. I give it ten out of ten stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PS: I finally found the soundtrack of this gem and it was only $347.64! That’s a steal for being the only copy in existence.
@@HoolyDooly-si2zz Some people are incapable of understanding true greatness. Sometimes it takes time. Even the worlds best paintings and artists are not appreciated by some. Hopefully they will acquire an understanding of what perfection is 😀.
Seriously? Are you for real? Nothing beats a Ray Harryhausen special effects movie. He beats the crap out of what is shown here. And while these are pretty good and well know actors, I've seen better acting in high school plays. It's bad directing.
I saw this in 1956, at a Saturday matinée triple feature at The Amityville Theater, The Big A, on Long Island. 25 cents admission, lots of cartoons, shorts, like go in at 9a, come out at 2p. I recognized Sid Melton, not by his real name, but as Ikky Mudd from Captain Midnight. So this movie was a bit traumatic for me, as I was 9 at the time.
For the era this is a great film, for people like me at least, it doesn’t have the best of anything in its favour but combine all the elements needed for a very adventure movie in the 1950s at there best and you have a classic movie, not a Hollywood blockbuster admittedly but for a midweek escape from the daily routine and a very fast Chinese takeaway and I have my perfect evening.
Great movie !! I was born in Mexico in the 70 s . Once in a blue moon I got to see these movies . Always curious about what they really were saying.. even with the caption sounded different . Thanks for posting .
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊thanks utube..what a great old movie 🎦..what a treat first time seeing this movie 🎦..what a great. Scene...poor. man screaming falling just. Disappeared.. great story great film 📼 stars...
Great movie for its' time! Slow by today's standards. The bulk of the movie was climbing rocks!! Certainly a great cast. The good old days of stop animation with creators/animators the likes of Ray Harryhausen, though this wasn't his movie. It is is good to see young students resurrecting stop motion animation once again, especially younger children.
I still think that dinosaurs are alive because after all there are still places that haven't been explored yet. There are plateaus in South America and Central America which have not been explored, and since new species are being found everyday, and there have been sightings of megalodons around the world, so yes folks, they're still around.
Cesar Romero Maj. Nolan - the joker from Batman tv series. Phillips (Hugh Beaumont) Ward Cleaver. Sgt Willie (Sid Melton) the Golden Girls. Rostov (John Hoyt) from movies and westerns. Doc Briggs (Whit Bissell) the boss on the Time Tunnel tv series.
Hey..this is rare...all men...not a female in sight. Unless some of the monsters were female. Nice cast..some of Hollywood's classic male hunks. Thanks for the nostalgia....these ol' b/w relics were nice bits of escapism.
Another memory trigger. The scientist aboard the plane (other than Ward Cleaver) is John Hoyt. Was in one of the original Star Trek episodes ... from pilot The Cage. The first doc portrayed on the Enterprise before DeForest Kelly. Or Shatner for that matter. Ok, that bug was swatted. Carry on.
I remember watching this with MST3000 commentary, haha, "and more mountain climbing". I can only recommend you watch that one, much better entertainment :)
Movies like these are gems. You could remake them with today's CGI, even give the dino's feathers, and it would be eye candy... but no one would watch it. If you think dinos on top of a mountain is impossible, try it in the modern world with Jets and satellites that have mapped every sq. foot of the planet. It would simply not go over. The same with sci-fi movies where they meet martians or plants on the moon, it simply would not sell as it did back in the 50s. In some ways it is the same with a couple of Lovecraft stories of islands or lost cities. It is a shame.
@@allandavis8201 The difference however is that this was an undiscovered part of the world, where as Jurassic Park was Dinosaurs being re-introduced to the world. Sometimes I regret technology. Things like Lidar are finding old rivers and cities... but it takes the mistigue out of everything.
@@Temporal_Assassin Very true, and you’re right about the difference between then and now but as with everything the storylines have to move forward as well, don’t get me wrong, part of the reason I love these types of film is because they had an element of mystery, it was possible to discover new islands and cultures that had not been tainted by modern man, and that, as you rightly point out, is impossible now, and films that try to portray places that have not been explored or at least recorded from space are doomed to failure. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴🇺🇦
@@allandavis8201 ....Yes, some great comments here. I would like to add another possibility why these movies were popular: the age of the audience. As a young boy back in the 50's-early 60's, my young imagination was fertile ground for these magical and mysterious places. And using one's imagination is something that is very much lacking in today's high tech, CGI world; there is little left that draws our imagination into the movie. It is all laid out on the screen and for me, it gets real boring and HO-HUM real fast.
I do believe the native beauty is the beautiful model that swapped Lon Chaney’s eye wash with acid in his inner sanctum mystery movie ... Dead mans eyes !
Always keep a few M-1 Carbines and 45's aboard. Great weapons. The original Joker is the commanding officer. Ward didn't bring the Beaver and Wally. LOL! Every animal was a vegetarian.
I am widow, married 58 years, who made decisions for my 28 year old horse. In my belief system, I just handed the lead rope to my husband in heaven. A candle is extinguished when morning comes.
The native female was played by Aquanetta. She had a brief movie career and married a car dealer in Phoenix.(Jack Ross Lincoln/Mercury) He advertised on late night TV and she appeared with him sometimes.
Has anyone noticed looking at the cast, at one time parents named their boys with different first names compared with today. Cesar, Hugh, Chick, Sid, Whit. Times sure have changed. 😮😮😊😮
This used to be on TV all the time in the late 1950's. Along with The Thing and Crawling eye. Thanks for the memories.
This brings back memories. This was the very first movie I ever saw in a theater. It was 1960 & I was 8 yrs old.
You must have had nightmares after watching this :-)

No smoking on set. Mr. Cleaver (Beav;s Dad) is in the cast. LOL
Works for me.

Another memory trigger. The scientist aboard the plane (other than Ward Cleaver) is John Hoyt. Was in one of the original Star Trek episodes ... from pilot The Cage. The first doc portrayed on the Enterprise before DeForest Kelly. Or Shatner for that matter. Ok, that bug was swatted. Carry on.
I remember watching this with MST3000 commentary, haha, "and more mountain climbing". I can only recommend you watch that one, much better entertainment :)
This post enriches my experience of the MST3K version of this movie. Lol
Seriously, Thank you for the post!
I was born the same year that this movie came out. Caesar Romero actually served in the US military during World War 2.
Movies like these are gems. You could remake them with today's CGI, even give the dino's feathers, and it would be eye candy... but no one would watch it. If you think dinos on top of a mountain is impossible, try it in the modern world with Jets and satellites that have mapped every sq. foot of the planet. It would simply not go over. The same with sci-fi movies where they meet martians or plants on the moon, it simply would not sell as it did back in the 50s. In some ways it is the same with a couple of Lovecraft stories of islands or lost cities. It is a shame.
I agree with everything you say, except for one thing, they did make a movie about it, Jurassic Park franchise, they worked out pretty well.
@@allandavis8201 The difference however is that this was an undiscovered part of the world, where as Jurassic Park was Dinosaurs being re-introduced to the world. Sometimes I regret technology. Things like Lidar are finding old rivers and cities... but it takes the mistigue out of everything.
@@Temporal_Assassin Very true, and you’re right about the difference between then and now but as with everything the storylines have to move forward as well, don’t get me wrong, part of the reason I love these types of film is because they had an element of mystery, it was possible to discover new islands and cultures that had not been tainted by modern man, and that, as you rightly point out, is impossible now, and films that try to portray places that have not been explored or at least recorded from space are doomed to failure. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴🇺🇦
@@allandavis8201 ....Yes, some great comments here. I would like to add another possibility why these movies were popular: the age of the audience. As a young boy back in the 50's-early 60's, my young imagination was fertile ground for these magical and mysterious places. And using one's imagination is something that is very much lacking in today's high tech, CGI world; there is little left that draws our imagination into the movie. It is all laid out on the screen and for me, it gets real boring and HO-HUM real fast.

Living in the high desert, I like seeing the palm trees 🌴 😊 and Joshua trees 😊
I do believe the native beauty is the beautiful model that swapped Lon Chaney’s eye wash with acid in his inner sanctum mystery movie ... Dead mans eyes !
Love that movie and all the inner sanctums. 😎
@@austinsandefer649 Right on friend... prob my favorite Lon Jr leading role! They're all 6 free on Vimeo uploaded by Radio Ghost! ✌️ Enjoy
Always keep a few M-1 Carbines and 45's aboard. Great weapons. The original Joker is the commanding officer. Ward didn't bring the Beaver and Wally. LOL! Every animal was a vegetarian.
Enjoyable. Thanks for uploading.
another Hugh Beaumont movie - awesome
Now I know where the Star Wars intro came from
47 minutes in and they are still climbing the mountain. . . I think the dinosaurs are just a myth.
Don't forget ward clever😎
I am widow, married 58 years, who made decisions for my 28 year old horse. In my belief system, I just handed the lead rope to my husband in heaven. A candle is extinguished when morning comes.
The native female was played by Aquanetta. She had a brief movie career and married a car dealer in Phoenix.(Jack Ross Lincoln/Mercury) He advertised on late night TV and she appeared with him sometimes.
They called Jack Ross (Mr. touchdown). His football days.
@@neilalexander2662 You are right! I had forgotten.
Private Frost- It's hot as hell up here.
Private Hudson- Yeah, but it's a dry heat.
Beaver’s dad is sure smart!
Thanks for posting!
Has anyone noticed looking at the cast, at one time parents named their boys with different first names compared with today. Cesar, Hugh, Chick, Sid, Whit. Times sure have changed. 😮😮😊😮
no prep for the hike-just guts.
Sid Melton appeared in every combat theater in WWII.
This is one of my favorites but I can barely hear it. Sometimes these older films sound doesn't work so well. Too bad.
I always wondered just what Ward Cleaver did for a job while away from June, Wally and "the Beave." He was undercover as agent Philips. Brilliant.
In the forties he played murderers and bad dudes in film noire
Coffee, cigarettes, bullets, (whiskey I haven't see yet but you bet it's on board) and thin mustasches. Monsters didn't have a chance in the 50s.
Crow: "Joel, why are we watching this dull mountain climbing sequence?"
Joel: "Well, because it's there."
The movie, "Cold Turkey" doesn't have half of the cigarettes in it as this one! lol
Hey! It's the Beevs' Dad! I always wondered what he did for a living.
At 25 minutes I thought they had found the castaways of Gilligan's Island
lol, Just like every C-47 flight engineer I ever met!
good movie !!!
I love claymation monsters! LOL!!!
Ward sure had some adventures to tell the beaver
