Set in prehistoric times, it centers on a fellow who cannot get along with his tribal fellows and so decides to wander alone until he meets another, more advanced, tribe, where he and a beautiful woman fall in love with each other.
Worthy remake of a 1940 movie. It is a nonrealistic depiction of prehistoric times, featuring lots of animals which were long extinct when Man appeared on the Earth. The flow of narrative is diverted at regular intervals by the appearance of such monsters; they often fight each other, too. The monsters are all made in stop-motion animation, a welcome improvement over the 1940 version, which had live animals. The cast consists of unknowns (to me anyway), except for Welch, who is marvelous in it.
