The first novella of The Land That Time Forgot was made into a motion picture in 1974. The picture is also titled The Land That Time Forgot. Released by American International and produced by Samuel Z. Arkoff, it stars Doug McClure as Bowen Tyler, Susan Penhaligon as Lisa Clayton (the love interest), and John McEnery as von Schoenvorts. The screenplay is by James Cawthorne and Michael Moorcock. It is directed by Kevin Connor.
The special effects are sometimes sloppy, and the performances sometimes unintentionally funny, but the movie is delightfully silly and will please members of the audience who are not fussy about technical perfection and will displease others who may measure the movie's cinematic effects against those of Star Wars (1977). McClure does a creditable job of portraying Tyler as a capable leader.
