UNKNOWN ISLAND (1948). Hero Richard Denning (the Jack Driscoll of this film) and sexy Virginia Grey travel with a group of unappealing people to a remote lost world, where dinosaurs (men in rubber suits) roam and one giant ape monster (man in hairy suit) fight the dinos all day. While it's not really the greatest lost world type film ever, it's actually a very lively and entertaining little film shot in colour which seems a bit wasted as it's a rather dull limited palette. Definitely worth seeing.
