Here is the classic 1925 special effects epic, THE LOST WORLD, based on the classic novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Wallace Beery, Bessie Love, Lewis Stone, Bull Montana and Arthur Hoyt star in this original tale of an expedition deep in the jungles of South American discovering a land untouched by time, where dinosaurs still rule the earth. The film created quite a stir in its day, with ground-breaking special effects spearheaded by Willis O'Brien, the man whose stop-moti...on magic would bring to life KING KONG in 1933 and MIGHTY JOE YOUNG in 1949, and inspire stop-motion legend Ray Harryhausen to pursue his own career in the field.
I believe the previous owner of this film said it came mounted on 200' reels, which he later mounted onto two 400' reels for ease of projection. I am not sure which company released this particular print, but it seems like the original owner said it came from Mountain. (Unlike the Blackhawk release, this one does use the original title card.) The film is used but still projectible, and it's great to see the dinosaurs up on a big screen rather than just on the television via home video. I've had a couple of copies of this in my collection over the years, and nearly forgot I still had this one. (Much as I love the film, I only need one.) I am in the process of downsizing some of the movies I no longer watch, so check out my other auctions for films from Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, and D.W. Griffith. (Please note the images up above are stock images of art and promotional stills from the movie, and are not actual frame grabs.)
8mm, mounted on two 400' reels. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
