Secret of the Incas (1954)
Too silly and no resemblance to Riders of the Lost Ark at all.
I like all kind of old movies but The secret of the Incas is a waste of talent with actors like C. Heston, T Mitchell and R. Young. For those of you who like fast moving adventure movies, with great performances, this is NOT for you.
The film is often cited as a direct inspiration for the Indiana Jones character. I did not see many scenes in Secret of the Incas bearing a resemblance in tone or structure to scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I like Raiders...... and this movie is NOT similar at all.
Throughout Secret of the Incas, the main character, Harry Steele, can be seen wearing the "Indiana Jones" outfit: brown leather jacket, fedora, tan pants, an over-the-shoulder bag, and a revolver (he never uses) and nothing else is similar. Two different character backgrounds and goals make them no similar at all.
