Curiosidades

Lost Continent is a 1951 American black-and-white science fiction film drama produced by Jack Leewood, Robert L. Lippert and Sigmund Neufeld, directed by Sam Newfield and starring Cesar Romero, Hillary Brooke, Whit Bissell, Sid Melton, Hugh Beaumont and John Hoyt.

Production

The general plotline of the film strongly resembles that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel The Lost World.

With a low budget, Lost Continent was shot in just 11 days from April 13 to late April 1951 at Goldwyn Studios.

Black-and-white footage set atop the prehistoric escarpment was tinted a mint-green color on all theatrical release prints to produce an eerie, other-worldly effect. Special effects were credited to Augie Lohman, but recent research suggests that the dinosaur stop-motion animation was provided by Edward Nassour and was likely the uncredited work of Jay Baylor and sculptor Henry Lion, who worked for Nassour during that time.
