Description
A vintage movie poster of ''Caveman'', a 1981 American slapstick comedy film directed and written by Carl Gottlieb. Unlike many films set in prehistoric times, "Caveman" takes a lighthearted and comedic approach to the genre.
The film stars Ringo Starr as Atouk, a bumbling caveman who is part of a tribe of primitive humans. When he is banished from his tribe by the brutish Tonda, played by John Matuszak, Atouk embarks on a journey to find a new tribe and ultimately win the love of the beautiful Lana, played by Barbara Bach. Along the way, Atouk encounters various comedic adventures, including encounters with dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures.
"Caveman" is known for its physical comedy, slapstick humor, and visual gags. It relies on humor derived from the absurdity of prehistoric situations and the comical misunderstandings of the characters. The film also features minimal dialogue, as the characters speak in a fictional caveman language.
While "Caveman" may not be regarded as a critical or commercial success on the level of other comedies of its time, it has gained a cult following over the years for its campy and zany humor. Ringo Starr's involvement as both the star and the composer of the film's musical score adds to its quirky charm. The film is best enjoyed as a lighthearted and goofy comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously, offering a unique spin on the prehistoric genre.
