Movie Description 311w1y
The Lost World is a 1925 silent fantasy adventure film and an adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel of the same name. The movie was produced by First National Pictures, a large Hollywood studio at the time, and stars Wallace Beery as Professor Challenger. This version was directed by Harry O. Hoyt and featured pioneering stop motion special effects by Willis O'Brien (an invaluable forerunner of his work on the original King Kong directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack). Writer Doyle, also the creator of Sherlock Holmes, appears in a frontispiece to the film, absent from some extant prints. In 1998, the film was deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Because of its age the film is in the public domain, and can be ed legally for free from, for example, the Internet Archive. 3h422s
