Posted at December 31, 1969, 6:00 pm: I seriously doubt that even the most skilled and knowledgable among you could help me locate this movie from my distant childhood -- truly the first movie I ever loved. The name, the actors -- everything is lost to me except the main plot and - I don't think I was imagining this at the time - the music. Here is what I remember. I've been looking for the title to this movie for 20 years and am not expecting much but here you go. The movie was black and white, and when I first viewed it as a TV movie, it was in the year range 1959-1961. The setting was a desert-like environment or a surface consisting primarily of sand. I do not remember if the main characters -- a group of young men -- were supposed to be cops, investigaors, military, or adventurers of some sort, but it appears they were investigating reports of people disappearing, being sucked into the sand and disappearing. I remember the rescuers finding some evidence of one of those sucked under -- a pair of shoes or something like that -- and then shortly after, one of the rescuers themselves were pulled under the sand as they shrieked and screamed. At some point in the movie, we find out that those who have been pulled under and have disappeared have apparently entered some sort of paradise world deep beneath the sand. They are treated to foods and drinks and implied carnal pleasures --beautiful scantily clad women fanning the men as they lounged about. It seemed to be a place that represented "peace". When these scenes come on, the song "Stranger in Paradise" plays. I was only 6 or 7 years old when I first saw this, and the only thing I remember from the rest of it was that the "paradise" was destroyed -- I think by some outside forces, even as its inhabitants including those sucked under, had mixed feelings or tried to stop it. This is the first movie that had any impact on me. I remember feeling a strange sensation of hope and sadness from it. My first emotional attachment to any film. IF ANYBODY has any idea of what this movie was, anything, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Feel free to write also directly to me at info@securitiesfinance.co Thanks!
