At the Earth's Core (1976)

5/6/2013

"You can't hypnotize me...I'm British!"


Aside from Tarzan, the fantasy/adventure classics of Edgar Rice Burroughs have not fared so well on film. Since so much of Burroughs' work dates from 75 to 100 years ago, and so many filmmakers, from George Lucas to James Cameron, have been inspired by (some may say begged, borrowed or just plain stole from) him over the years, that when someone tries to do a more-or-less faithful rendition of one of his works, like last year's mega-budget misfire John Carter, the results can come off as stale and overly familiar.


Picture
Back in the 1970s, though, the time seemed ripe for Burroughs' patented style of pacy pulp adventure storytelling. The nostalgia boom was still going strong, with various publishing houses releasing massive paperback runs of nearly all of Burroughs books, not to mention stories by Robert E. Howard (featuring Conan, Solomon Kane and other series characters), E.E. Doc Smith's Lensmen novels, reprints of Doc Savage and The Shadow pulps, etc.

In Britain, the independent production company Amicus (most noted for their horror anthologies like From Beyond the Grave, Asylum, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, et al) took a chance and brought three of Burroughs'  more memorable novels to the big screen. Amicus, founded by Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg, enjoyed a certain level of success and made some fine genre films. To say their efforts in bringing Burroughs' larger-than-life, elaborate lost worlds to film were not entirely successful would be an understatement. However, the three films in question - The Land that Time Forgot (1975) and its sequel, The People That Time Forgot (1977) (based off the Caspak trilogy) and At the Earth's Core (1976) (the first book in the Pellucidar series) - all have their hearts in the right place and bring plenty of old-fashioned fun to the table. For those of us who saw these movies as youngsters when they first came out, they still hold a certain nostalgic appeal that (just barely) transcends their clumsy monster effects and general silliness, and most of their (many) faults can be blamed on the production teams' trying to do far too much with way too limited means.

American TV star Doug McClure was lured to the U.K. to work in all three of these movies (though his presence is drastically reduced in The People That Time Forgot). The Land that Time Forgot must have been successful enough to warrant another film, and 1976 saw McClure once again back in Burroughs' fantasyland, as realized by the Amicus crew in At the Earth's Core.
Picture
The story follows the original 1914 novel in very general outline, though much that makes the book special doesn't translate to the screen, alas. The movie opens as British scientist Abner Perry (Peter Cushing) and his former pupil David Innes (Doug McClure) are about to embark on a trial run of their "Iron Mole," a drilling machine devised to explore beneath the planet's crust. Things quickly go awry and the pair eventually arrive in a vast cave world full of weird plants and even weirder beasties. No sooner have David and Perry left their machine then they are set upon by some strange sort of dinosaur-like creature. Fleeing the monster, they are quickly captured by the pig-faced Sagoths, a humanoid henchman race who do the bidding of the mysterious, reptilian Mahars, who hold dominion over the native human population.

The Sagoths lock David and Abner in chains alongside a number of other humans, including the ravishing Princess Dia (Caroline Munro), and take them to the ancient Mahar city. Along the way, David defends Dia from the depredations of Hooja the Sly One (Sean Lynch), but doesn't realize that local tribal custom dictates that when a man fights over a woman and wins, he may claim her as his own. Dia seems not averse to the idea, but quickly takes offense when the understandably clueless David makes no move in that direction, and from then on, during the remainder of the trek, she and the others give the the two strangers the cold shoulder.

Picture

The prisoners finally arrive at the Mahar city and are brought before the winged overlords, who seem to communicate with the Sagoths via telepathy. After a period slaving away in the mines with the other captives, David manages to escape through a disused cave tunnel and encounters Ra, a chieftain of one of the human tribes. In time-honored fashion, the two fight and become fast friends once David rescues Ra from the clutches of a carnivorous plant.  Thinking to dissuade David from his plan to free Perry and the rest of the humans from the Mahars' rule, Ra brings him back into the Mahar city to witness their hideous ritual of feasting upon the more comelier female captives. This just strengthens David's resolve to bring the various warring human factions together and eliminate the Mahars for once and all. But first, he is reunited with the lovely Dia and must fight Jubal the Ugly One (Michael Crane), the most ferocious warrior in the land, for her hand...

Picture
Let's get this right out of the way - even in the mid-70s, this was cheese-tastic stuff. We're talking ripe Gorganzola, folks. Burroughs' original tale is a terrific piece of pulp storytelling, full of action, derring-do and a plethora of monsters, both of the traditional dinosaur variety plus all manner of other unique and original creations, such as the nasty Mahars. Not only do the creatures in At The Earth's Core not bear any resemblance whatsoever to any sort of dinosaur known to science, they are nearly all portrayed by men in rubber suits. The design of the various monster suits do show some kind of inspired, oddball imagination, but realistic they are not. (Laughable is the word that comes to mind.) Coupled with the entire film taking place on Pinewood sound stages, on cramped jungle or cave sets not greatly more lavish than the average classic Doctor Who serial, and one is left with a general air of goofiness that can't be ignored.

That said, the film still manages to be pretty disarming matinee fodder, thanks mainly to its cast. McClure makes for an agreeable (if slightly pudgy) action hero, but the film really belongs to Peter Cushing and Caroline Munro. Cushing, the esteemed horror star famous for his depictions of cold, steely intelligence in the Hammer Frankenstein films, as well as Sherlock Holmes on film and television, has a total field day here. Some have criticized Cushing for laying the ham on a bit thick as the kindly, doddering professor Perry, but he's far and away the best thing in this film. He knows he's stuck in a bit of silly juvenalia and gets right into the spirit of things with a very broad, charming performance. Whether waving his brolly at a towering monster and exclaiming "Shoo!" or sending a flurry of arrows into the side of a fire-breathing giant frog, Cushing is constantly endearing. He also gets all the best lines, including "You can't hypnotize me - I'm British" and (of the piggish, sadistic Sagoths) "Oh, they're so excitable, like all foreigners"... not to mention the immortal "I have a firm grip upon your trousers, David" (as McClure is leading him out of a cave). Cushing classes up this joint and enjoys an easy rapport with McClure. His presence goes a long way to making the movie as watchable as it is.

PictureCaroline Munro, far and away the film's best special effect.
Something else indispensable to the movie is the appearance of that super sexy 70s siren, Caroline Munro. Miss Munro was one of my very first movie crushes, her dark, sultry looks, alluring curves and feminine demeanor striking an immediate chord with this particular pre-teen male.

Catching At the Earth's Core on TV, followed by a school showing of The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973), was a heady one-two punch of exotic, scantily-clad pulchritude. I came to these films for the fantastical worlds and monsters, but the lasting image I took away from them was of Caroline Munro in revealing, barely-there clothing. I was one of the many, many fans similarly captivated by Munro and her succession of skimpy outfits. Though she never became a big star, she remains a cult figure for her work in the above two films, plus a handful of others, such as the two Dr. Phibes movies (as Phibes' dear departed wife), Dracula A.D. 1972 (opposite Christopher Lee's Count), Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter (also from Hammer, and reviewed earlier on this site), the Italian Star Wars ripoff Star Crash, and most notably, as bad Bond girl Naomi in the popular 007 extravaganza, The Spy Who Loved Me.  Munro isn't actually in that much of At the Earth's Core, but what's there is, as they say, choice. Her role isn't exactly designed to challenge anyone's acting talents, but she more than fulfills the brief, and brings a winning mixture of tremulous vulnerability and royal hauteur to her Pellucidarian princess.

The rest of the cast is decent enough, considering what's required, and the script, by producer Subotsky, is perfectly serviceable for this kind of fare. Director Kevin Connor perhaps wisely keeps the frame tight in on his stars' faces for the most part, which sometimes works in tandem with the cramped feel of the sets to make this feel like a very small lost world, but otherwise does a competent enough job moving the story forward (this clocks in at a brisk 90 minutes). What really lets the side down is the aforementioned poor effects work; it might be unfair to compare this with the marvels of Star Wars which came out a mere year later, as the budget here is surely less than a tenth of that film's, but after Star Wars, effects-heavy films would never be the same, and George Lucas' film pretty much sounded the death knell for the sort of old-fashioned yet cheap monster mayhem seen here.

There's also a number of plot holes and other head-scratching moments (such as how the denizens of Pellucidar manage to speak English, for one...and where exactly did Perry get that bow and arrow? for another.) Taken as a proper adaptation of its far superior source, there's no denying that At the Earth's Core falls way short of the mark.

Still, the sets, colorful lighting, rubber monsters and (actually quite effective) sound design all work together to give the film a strange, otherworldly atmosphere that kind of works in spite of the budgetary shortcomings, resulting in an almost hallucinatory quality; taken on the level of a kind of trippy 70s fever dream, the film remains pretty diverting stuff. It's goofy fun aimed at 10-year-olds, and if - like me - you still have a ghost of that 10-year-old self hanging around, you might enjoy it too.


And, if all else fails, there's always Caroline Munro.

DVD Note: MGM released a pretty nice DVD of At the Earth's Core as part of their Midnight Movies line back in 2001. There's also a double-feature disc of the film, along with War Gods of the Deep. Both are out-of-print but still available from various Amazon Marketplace sellers.

Jeff, AT THE EARTH'S CORE is one of my favourite novels by ERB and though I haven't seen the film version, the fact that it does not stay true to the book sort of puts me off. I'd still like to watch it, though! I didn't know it was the first in the Pellucidar series. I'd like to see the film remade by Cameron or Spielberg today. By the way, Jeff, when it comes to watching films like these, I actually behave like the ghost of my 10-year old self!

Jeff

Thank you, Prashant! I'm glad to see another Burroughs fan. I wouldn't be too put off by the movie's lack of fidelity to the source material...it's the usual situation when books are brought to the screen. If anything, AT THE EARTH'S CORE is more true to the novel than the norm.

Also glad to see another 10-year-old spirit in attendance! ;) It's certainly true of me, often enough. Luckily, I can still usually tap in to that inner child to enjoy these kinds of movies (and the books they were based off of).

I saw this on opening night at my neighborhood theater, the Dolton. The Dolton was a second-run theater, but occasionally they would get first-run movies (especially genre product that couldn't secure other bookings). Saw "At the Earth's Core" on a double feature with Bert I. Gordon's "The Food of the Gods". I was really excited to see the new Peter Cushing film play at my local theater.

Even as a 13 year-old, I knew "At the Earth's Core" wasn't very good, but I still enjoyed it. Sure the monsters were fake (the first monster in the film, which Cushing and McClure see stomping through the jungle is especially cringe-inducing.) But I still enjoyed it, as I think everyone in the theater did. It was a Friday night, there was no school the next day, there were two new monster movies at the local theater. All was right with the world. And, admittedly, Caroline Munro and puberty go very well together.

I've always enjoyed Cushing's performance in the movie. He seems to be having a ball. He's done the heroic scientist/professor so many other times. Let him be something different. And he does so here, brilliantly. A wonderful performance, good enough to merit a re-watch. Along with Caroline.

Jeff

Hey Kevin! Thanks very much for the reminiscences and feedback! That's cool you got to see Caroline Munro and all the rubber monsters in their full, big screen glory. Like you, even as a 10 y.o. I knew the monsters didn't look quite right, but my imagination was still sparked by the film (and Miss Munro).

I agree that Cushing should be cut some slack here...he's so obviously having fun playing the wobbly, well-mannered old eccentric and that sense of fun is infectious. He is one of the best things about the film, along with you-know-who.

Great review Jeff, you really capture my recollection of watching these films on TV in the 80s when visiting my granparents in the UK. I was already a fan of Derek Meddings' great model work and (the late great) Ray Harruhausen, so was predisposed to enjoy this kind of special effects style fantasy though of course no stop motion beauty to be found here. What these films do have is the right 'spirit' I think, the right attitude to children's fantasy without pandering and condescending to the audience. And yes, Caroline Munro was a real dish (still is), though I mainly knew her from her later work as a hostess on the diabolically bad (but popular) UK game show 3-2-1.

Jeff
5/12/2013 08:10:40 am

Thanks, Sergio! This is exactly the sort of film one should recollect watching with one's grandparents as a kid. I think you're right - with these Amicus Burroughs' flicks, the "spirit" is there, even if the budget and effects aren't quite up to the challenge. I haven't seen that 3-2-1 game show you mention but am sure Ms. Munro was the best thing about it.

Rick link
5/9/2013 11:19:32 pm

Jeff, I think this is the best of the Amicus excursions into Burroughs territory. I agree about the cheesiness, but my main problem with these films is Doug McClure. A better actor, along the lines of Richard Johnson, would have made a huge difference. Still, as you say, you can't go wrong with Peter Cushing AND Caroline Munro! By the way, to my surprise, I rather liked last year's JOHN CARTER.

Jeff
5/12/2013 08:13:44 am

Cheers, Rick! This might be the best of the three just for the presence of Cushing and Munro alone. One thing that THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT has in its favor is some evocative location shooting, which the set-bound other two films do not. While I can't quite see Richard Johnson in the lead here, I do agree that maybe Doug McClure wasn't perhaps the best choice. As for JOHN CARTER, well, I also rather enjoyed it but it wasn't the knockout it should have been.

Great review, Jeff. Here are my thoughts:
1. Am going to read an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel this summer since I've never read one, ever.
2. Peter Cushing always gives you your money's worth, no?
3. THIS is a fantastic word: "cheese-tastic". Brilliant!
4. Rubber dinosaur suits? Count me in!

Jeff
5/12/2013 08:18:24 am

Thanks for that, Ruth! Here are my responses:

1) I hope you let me know what you think when you get around to reading some Burroughs (good summer page-turners). Some of his writing is a bit purple prosey, but he can sure spin a yarn. I also recommend TARZAN AT THE EARTH'S CORE, THE MAD KING, THE CAVE GIRL and the first 3 Barsoom (Mars) novels aside from the other books mentioned above.
2. Peter Cushing almost always raises a movie up to another level.
3. Thank you, thank you...I'm here all week.
4. If you like rubber monster suit action, you'll have a ball with AT THE EARTH'S CORE.

Jeff,
there is something extra special about re-visiting treasured films from one's childhood -, be they good, bad or indifferent.

In my case it was "King Kong". Back in the 1950's,I was exposed to a preview for a re-release of RKO's original 1933 film. I was fascinated and when my parents agreed to take my brother and I to the film, I thought that all of my Christmasses had come at once; could not wait for Wednesday evening to arrive and thought that something would prevent us from going.

Well, the Wednesday night did arrive and I was not disappointed - in fact, the very "dated", (even in the 50's), feel of this film added to its enjoyment.

Although the latest version is quite good, I have always remembered my first viewing of "King Kong". When our children were old enough, I hired the video for them to watch. I am very happy to have a DVD of this original film in my collection but would hope, one day, to see a Blu-Ray release.

Jeff
5/12/2013 08:22:10 am

Greetings, Rod - thanks for sharing your KING KONG story! I think KONG struck a similar cord for many, many kids growing up in the 50s-70s. It seems to be one of the seminal "monster kid" movies. I love it too,

I'm not sure if you are aware of it, but there is indeed a Blu-Ray release of the original KONG, and it's a gorgeous one. I have it and not only does the film look about as good as the original elements will allow, but it's just crammed full of great special features.

Thanks as always for stopping by and adding your great personal accounts of these films - much appreciated.

Rod Croft

Jeff,
thanks for the information re the Blu-Ray release of the original "King Kong". Apparently the Blu-Ray is not available here, in Australia, and from what I can find, will have to be imported from the USA or via the UK. Fortunately it is "Region Free".

I love this film. Saw it when it came out. I was 12, and was part of the exact demographic they were aiming for.

And as you pointed out in your excellent post, the fact that it's not very good means absolutely nothing.

Now I want to see it again. Thanks for reminding me how much fun this this is.

Jeff
5/14/2013 07:31:18 am

Thanks, Toby! Appreciate you stopping by again. Good to see more love for this goofy, good-natured film. You're right, the film is what it is, and if you fit that target demo, it did the trick.

Sorry, late to the party on this one Jeff.
I actually saw AT THE EARTH'S CORE, THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT & THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT in the cinema when they were first released - I was only 7 or 8 years old, but my parents seemed to bring me to so many movies back then.

Frankly, with the exception of LAND, these weren't really very good movies. Of course, at the time, they were a source of wonder and indescribable thrills to a little boy. Viewed with the, hopefully, more discerning eye of an adult, the flaws do stand out. Still, I retain great affection for these films; they were a part of my childhood and a part of my film education. I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Thanks for this nostalgic trip down memory lane - and those photos of Ms Munro are most welcome too.

Jeff
5/25/2013 08:36:59 pm

Hey, Colin, thanks for chiming in! Neat that you were able to catch this Amicus Burroughs' "trilogy" on the big screen. 7 or 8 years old is about the perfect time to see them. You're right, seen with modern eyes, these can't be said to be good, exactly, but I can still find some entertainment value in them. LAND is probably the best cast and acted, PEOPLE benefited from some nice exotic filmed exteriors, but those two were sorely lacking in the Caroline Munro department.

the one thing that puzzled me was the fact the mole goes downward at the end of the film and is seated on the mobile launcher

Hi James! I suppose, in Pellucidar, "down" is essentially..."up"? Your guess is as good as mine.
