About This Movie

One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing is a quirky blend of action, adventure, and comedy, directed by Robert Stevenson. The film has this whimsical tone that brings to life a rather peculiar premise – dinosaur bones and espionage. Lord Southmere's chase from China with that secret microfilm feels both frantic and oddly charming. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the overall madcap atmosphere. The practical effects, especially the dinosaur prop, have a certain charm that you just don’t see in modern filmmaking. Performances are light-hearted, with a playful energy that suggests everyone was having a good time. It’s one of those films that captures the essence of the era in a rather fun way.
