More on One Million B.C.
Description from Wikipedia:
One Million B.C. is a 1940 American fantasy motion picture produced by Hal Roach Studios and released by United Artists. It is also known by the titles Cave Man, Man and His Mate, and Tumak.
Producer Hal Roach hired D.W. Griffith to produce this film and Of Mice and Men, writing to him, "I need help from the production side to select the proper writers, cast, etc. and to help me generally in the supervision of these pictures." Although Griffith eventually disagreed with Roach over the production and parted, Roach later insisted that some of the scenes in the completed film were directed by Griffith. This would make the film the final production in which Griffith was actively involved. But cast members recall Griffith directing only the screen tests and costume tests. When Roach advertised the film in late 1939 with Griffith listed as producer, Griffith asked that his name be removed.
The film stars Victor Mature as Tumak, a young cave man who strives to unite the uncivilized Rock Tribe and the peaceful Shell Tribe. Co-starring is Carole Landis as Loana, daughter of the Shell Tribe chief and Tumak's love interest. Lon Chaney Jr. Co-stars as Tumak's father and leader of the rock tribe. The film was one of the first to portray primitive humans in any sort of a serious manner.
One Million B.C. was a popular success and was nominated for two Academy Awards for its special effects and musical score.
The film was remade in 1966 as One Million Years B.C. starring John Richardson as Tumak and Raquel Welch as Loana.
