1966: Raquel, Raquel: Only For Mature Viewers
In the original One Million B.C., Victor Mature played a musclebound lug with a sultry stare, stuck in a time when men weren't supposed to be seen as mere lust objects. Producer-director Hal Roach was onto something though: a caveman story is a good excuse for the cast to strip down and show off their assets. The 1966 remake of One Million Years B.C. made good on that insight. It was produced for one reason: to put Raquel Welch in a cavegirl bikini. The poster of Welch in her animal-skin underoos, taken by a publicity photographer and not an actual shot from the movie, became a dorm-room perennial and is much better remembered than the movie itself. And for good reason.

PS commented on 06/18Oh man, TJM - Phil Nugent, the author of this piece, wrote to me in a cold sweat to correct that, and I never actually made the change. But I'm proud we have readers alert enough to catch the difference. - ed.
