One Million Years B.C. is a 1966 movie starring Raquel Welch set in the time of cavemen. The film was made by Britain's Hammer Films, and was a remake of the 1940 Hollywood film One Million B.C..
The film erroneously portrayed humans and dinosaurs as co-existing in the same period.
Ironically, a publicity shot of Welch from the movie (see picture) became more famous than the movie itself, becoming a best-selling poster and somewhat of a cultural phenomenon. The image can be recognized by people around the world; even among those who are not familiar with the film. The poster also played an important role in the film The Shawshank Redemption.Template:Movie-stub
