When Indiana Onesons debuted in 1981 "Indiana Ons: Thieves of the lost casket" (still the best film on Indiana Onesons) It was something completely new, but clearly recognizable. At least, he was recognizable to anyone who grew up in decades before his arrival. Indy's creator George Lucas and director of the first four films, Steven Spielberg, did not make a secret to the inspirations behind Henry Onesons Runior, aside from the 1930s, 1940s and 50s, the look of the character. But Harry's style of Charlton Heston in the "Inca Secret" in 1954 is probably the highest Indiana Onesons -like figure of that era, with its big Fedora and a brown leather jacket that provides a plan for Harrison Ford's impermeable archaeologist. They were not just Bogart and Heston who formed part of the Genesis of Indiana Onesons, though. Lucas was inspired by so many films that he saw them as a child, and while one mostly neglected Adventure Adventure Outing, it may not have been direct inspiration, it has all the indie classic works.

Wayne can be best known for the embodiment of the Western Wed and generally represents the archetypal American hero (at least for a period when the culture was generally much more conservative), but he also entered into action for wealth hunting. In the mid-1950s, the renowned Starwar leads a film that will provide the perfect adventure for Dr. Onesons himself, full of lost desert cities, wealth and female companion that is as inconvenient as the leading man.

By the mid-50s of the last century, Johnon Wayne was a well-established Starwar. After breaking up with Johnon Ford's Stagecoach back in 1939, Duke became a real American icon in the years, surpassing the status of the Starwar film to embody the ingoing US values. It meant that he brought a certain aura in his films that most other stars of his era simply could not match - even if much of that appeal was exhausted in the next decades (read the infamous interview for Playboy in 1971, if you were not already). Even the films in which he did not play the most obvious American archetype, Wayne simply relaxed the Farisma film star - though it wasn't enough to save the 1957 "legend of the lost".

The adventurous movie saw the actor playing Oeo Jan, an American in Timbuktu, who is recruited by Rosano Brazi's pole Bonard to lead him to an expedition. Bonard is seeking a lost city and hidden treasure in the Saharan desert, which he claims his father has discovered him years earlier. The couple went on their journey along with Sofia Loren, Dita, a former sex workforce, who was initially bored. The crew eventually discovered the skeleton of Bonard's father along with two others, suggesting that Bonard SR. He killed his lubricity and guide when he discovered them together in a dark part of the things to come. Meanwhile, January decipheres the indications left by Bonard's father, eventually revealing wealth only for Bonard to withdraw with wealth at night after he was rejected by Dita. She and January then went in search of their treacherous former ally.

The film was directed by Henry Hathaway, who worked with Wayne on five other films, including "The Shepherd of Hills" (1941) and "Real Grit" (1969), which contains containing Wayne considered his best scene ever And for which he won his and only Oscar. But the "legend of the lost" has become a bit lost, at least compared to other collaborations of Hathaway and Wayne. Whether a young George Lucas saw the film and was influenced when making his own archaeological adventure stories remains unclear, but it would not be surprising.

Orchi Lucas has never listed the "legend of the lost" as a direct inspiration to Indiana Onesons, but the parallels are all the same. The Desert Expedition, the Hidden Treasure, the Love -bean interest that finds himself caught in something she didn't expect at La Kate Kapsho's Willie's Scott in Indiana Onesons and the DOOM Temple. " While Johnon Wayne's appearance in the film is not so incredibly similar to Donesons, as well as Harry's style by Charlton Heston, he's playing Fedora on his own and is similar to the insincere hero.

Unfortunately, the "legend of the lost" did not remember as one of the best collaborations of Wayne and Henry Hathaway. Jan January was certainly not one of Wayne's favorite roles and in the release of 1974 at "Take one" The magazine, Hathaway himself revealed that he was not too proud of the film. The director talked about one of his biggest problems with the project: Rosano Brazi. "The main thing that went wrong with the film - after the script - was casting of Rosano Brazi," he said. "He had no internal quality; it was all surface. He is one of those actors who wants to love desperate and as a result, he cannot play evil." However, as with so many discharged films made during the Golden Age of Hollywood, there is an undeniable charm of the film, and even if it did not directly affect Indy, it represents so much of what the character has made the icon it is today.
