Should have won an Oscar for Best Dress.
Forget the Harryhausen special effects. What really makes this movie great is the dress the main female character wears. It’s incredible! We are introduced to the dress like this: our heroes (escaped POWs) are stranded on a desert island filled with gigantic animals. At some point, two women (aunt and niece if I recall) wash onto shore, after surving a ship accident. The aunt decides to make her niece a new dress, because her old one is all torn up. So she constructs a dress out of leather, and HOLY &@$%#!* what a dress! I don’t fully understand why she would make a dress like that, being from the conservative 1860’s Midwest and all, but it is the most erotic dress I have ever seen. It’s so tiny and skintight, it looks like she can’t bend over or it would explode into a million pieces. I spent the entire movie leaning forward in rapt attention, because it honestly looks like it is going to tear apart at any moment. Wow!The rest of the movie is pretty good, too. The special effects are wonderfully fun. The only really annoying thing is the stupidity of the characters. Case in point: after encountering a giant crab and a giant chicken, a guy and the girl (still looking great in that dress!) wander into a cave, and see giant honeycomb. “Hmm, interesting,” they say. Then they hear this buzzing sound, and wonder what it is. “What’s that buzzing noise?? It’s getting closer…” I don’t believe it is humanly possible to be that stupid. It’s GIANT BEES, you idiots! Get out of there! Oops, too late. Now a colossal bee is cornering you. Didn’t see that one coming, huh?
Worth watching for the FX and the dress.
8/10 stars.
