	Movies - One Million Years B.C.

One Million Years B.C. is a 1966 movie starring Raquel Welch set in the time of cavemen. The film was made by Britain's Hammer Films, and was a remake of the 1940 Hollywood film One Million B.C.
.

The film portrays dinosaurs and man living together, whereas current scientific thought holds that the dinosaurs died out sixty-four million years prior to the date at which the film is set. Since a million years ago the closest thing to a modern human being was Homo erectus, it seems doubtful whether Raquel Welch could have portrayed one very convincingly.

Ironically, a publicity shot of Welch from the movie (see picture) became more famous than the movie itself, becoming a best-selling poster and somewhat of a cultural phenomenon. The image can be recognized by people around the world; even among those who are not familiar with the film.

Dinosaur stop-motion effects by Ray Harryhausen.

The poster with Raquel Welch on it can be seen in the movie The Shawshank Redemption as the last of three posters in Andy Dufresne's cell.
