"Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fantastic novel "The Lost World" deals with the myth that there still exists in this world a plateau somewhere in the unexplored wilds of South America, upon which the animals of prehistoric times still live. Animals which as far as science could discover, had passed from this world some 10.000.000 years ago.
This fantastical tale was made possible for the screen through the perfection of mechanical reproduction of the animals done in miniature and so superimposed on the actual scenes that when photographed they appered to be full size... the results fully justify the labour."
