Curiosidades
The Tyrannosaurus head from this movie was reportedly used to create Spot under the stairs of the Munster House on La familia Monster (1964).

Pifias
Cdr. Roberts sends Steve and Maggie back to the helicopter when they are faced with the T-Rex for the first time. In the next shot with the T-Rex in the foreground, one can see Steve and Maggie hurrying off. However, it is at an unnaturally fast speed, showing that the film has been sped up at this point.

Citas
Capt. Burnham: Hello, Lieutenant. I hope you won't mind having to fly the first woman over Antarctica.
Lt. Jack Carmen: [Obviously attracted to the beautiful reporter] Ma'am, you just say the word, and I'll fly you up to the moon.
Margaret 'Maggie' Hathaway: In a helicopter?
Capt. Burnham: [Reassuringly] You won't have to worry about him, Miss Hathaway. I'm sure he'll cool off as soon as he hits subzero weather.

Deserves to Be Better Known

This film is a very good entry in the late '50s sci-fi cycle, about a group of explorers and scientists who discover a lost tropical world below sea level in Antarctica (!) Reynolds (the pilot), Mahoney (the scientist), Smith, and Harvey crash-land and encounter dinosaurs and a survivor from an earlier expedition (Brandon). Great (although obviously indoor) sets, literate script, and good acting are the pluses. The dinosaurs are pretty shaky, especially the Tyrannosaurus (a guy walking around inside a dinosaur suit).

Mahoney seems a little miscast, but Brandon steals the show as the loner...his acting actually conveys the feeling that he's been stuck here alone for years. This is a very good B+/A- sci-fi film that should better known than it is.
