The Lost World (1925) app for iPhone and iPad

The Lost World is a 1925 silent film adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyles 1912 book of the same name. The movie stars Wallace Beery as Professor Challenger. This version was directed by Harry O. Hoyt and featured pioneering stop motion special effects by Willis OBrien (an invaluable warm up for his work on the original King Kong directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack). Writer Doyle appears in a frontispiece to the film.

The journal of explorer Maple White is recovered from a plateau in Venezuela featuring sketches of dinosaurs, which is enough proof for the eccentric Professor Challenger that dinosaurs still walk the earth. With that, John Roxton (sportsman), news reporter Edward Malone (who wishes to go on the expedition to impress his fiancée,) Challenger and Paula White as well as an Indian servant, Zambo, and Challengers butler Austin leave for the plateau where they indeed find the prehistoric creatures and experience ever more frightening adventures.
