The View From The Mountain

I first heard of The Primevals when I was a kid. Back in the day, which was the 1970s, I received all of my movie news from magazines, which was where I first discovered the work in progress fantasy film that was being directed by special effects master David Allen. Using stop motion animation, a technique that was pioneered by Willis Harold O'Brien, Allen created a story of an expedition that travels to Nepal after an incident where a Yeti had been killed during a confrontation with a group of Sherpa. Having received the body of the Yeti (and it was promptly put on display in their museum), this expedition, led by Claire Collier (Juliet Mills, the daughter of actor John Mills, and the sister of Haley Mills), wants to see if they can find more Yeti and perhaps save them from extinction. Hiring a safari guide with the super heroic name of Rondo Montana (!!!), they go looking for more Yeti in the Himalayas, only to find a lost civilization. Don’t you hat
