Jared Z 08/06/2023 Interesting for its influence on Raiders of the Lost Ark, but not much else to recommend on its own merits. See more Michael B 06/15/2023 Very slow snd nott great despite a good cast and only noteworthy as treasure hunter Charlton Heston is dressed as Indiana Jones. Appearances from Robert Young Leon Askin (Gen. Butkhalter in Hogan's Heroes) Marion Ross (Mrs Cunningham from Happy Days and the Australian actor Michael Pate who often played indians or in this case a Peruvian. Maybe the first 15 mins and jump forward to about half way then see how you go. See more Jithin K 06/08/2023 Entertaining adventure with great technicolor for the time set in exotic locations. At the same time, racist misogynist, and wants us to root for and believe in piece of shit protagonist. Indiana Jones being inspired by this is pretty clear though. See more r 9 04/12/2020 'Secret of the Incas' never really gets going, for me. I adore that it was filmed on location in Peru, it gives us some beautiful shots of the South American country; most notably of Machu Picchu. That's where the greatness ends though. It isn't a poor film by any means, but nothing else springs to mind in a positive manner about it. The cast are solid if a little mundane. Charlton Heston does a fine job in the lead role as Harry, with Thomas Mitchell supporting competently. The plot execution is what lets this down in my opinion, as it's an attractive premise but never feels like the majestic adventure that it should be. See more 11/12/2019 Spielberg has said this was a huge influence on Indiana Jones. Thankfully, Spielberg and Lucas took away the pure disreputability, the indefensible selfishness, the rampant sexism, and utter dullness before making their version. Anti-heroes are fine, but don't force an unearned redemption in the last five minutes. Still, I always love a good Thomas Mitchell turn, and he's doing some nicely sleezy work here. See more 02/26/2018 although it inspired raiders of the lost ark, the protagonist is too unlikable and greedy for this to be completely enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
