WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH (1970). The budget tightening was beginning to show and there is a lot of padding the story out to a much longer length than the plot deserves. Still, I was completely taken in by it at nine (First time) and marveled at the wonderful Stop motion effects in here...truly life like Dinos, especially the Rhamphoryncus that tries to make lunch of our leading man who in certain shots looks like a young Charles Bronson!!.
While Victoria Vetri (also in ROSEMARY'S BABY) was cast for her Va-Va-Voom factor (extensive, I must say), she is quite engaging in here, with an almost child like expression, particularly when she meets her surrogate "Mother". ***
