Миллион лет до нашей эры
Director of Photography
На рекламном плакате фильма в шестидесятых было написано: "Рэкуэл Уэлч представляет первые в мире бикини!". Зрелищный (для шестидесятых годов) фильм о доисторических людях и их приключениях.

Тем, кто видел этот фильм в советском прокате, картина ностальгически дорога сексапильной, смело по тем временам раздетой Уэлч, которой ее великолепная фигура в меховом бикини проложила путь к звездной славе.
