The Lost World

[ translate ]

First National, 1925. U.S. half sheet poster, paper-backed, framed. Based on the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this film brought stop-motion effects to the forefront and paved the way for films such as King Kong (1933). After many decades of only being seen in an abridged form, The Lost World has since been restored to its former glory by combining eight different prints. Conan Doyle himself appeared at the beginning of the film and later on proclaimed that the character of Professor Challenger, played by Wallace Beery, was his favorite character from his novels, Sherlock Holmes notwithstanding. In the film, Professor Challenger is a scientist who attempts to rescue a lost explorer whose journal indicates that dinosaurs still roam the earth. The stop-motion effects of dinosaurs and other creatures were novel for the time, and this was the first full-length movie to feature this type of animation. Accompanied by a framed magazine advertisement for the film.
Overall: 21.5 x 28.5 in.; within frame: 21 x 28 in.
