    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The special effects were so good that footage from this film was used in numerous other pictures produced well into the 1960s.
    • Goofs
      The cave people speak in a made-up language, but Lon Chaney Jr. slips after he throws Victor Mature out of the cave. His wife rushes forward, and Lon clearly says "Get back! Get down! Get back!"
    • Quotes
      • Narrator: These strange figures and forms were carved here many years ago - before any record of our present civilization. They speak the message of an intelligent man.
      • Mountain Guide: Do you mean there were people of intelligence that long ago?
      • Narrator: Intelligence, my friend, is inherit. Education and culture are acquired. Civilization, of course, has brought complications. But here are the same thoughts, the same emotions, the same struggles with the problems of life and death we have today experienced.
    • Crazy credits
      Conrad Nagel is in the opening credits as "Narrator," but not in the comprehensive end credits. Because of this, the opening credits are used first in the IMDb listing and the rest of the cast is filled in with the end credits.
