Jerry Hopper

Before Indiana Jones there was Harry Steele (Charlton Heston), an idealistic archaeologist determined to return an ancient Incan mask to the society from which it came. A greedy con-artist (Robert Young) has other ideas, though, and the two men race to fund an expedition to find the treasure, which has reportedly been buried by Spanish conquistadores somewhere in Machu Picchu. The con-artist (Young) seduces a beautiful tourist in order to reach his goal, leaving Steele (Heston) to locate the site through more honorable means. Twenty-seven years before directors George Lucas and Steven Spielburg collaborated to create Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jerry Hopper directed Secret of the Incas.

This is not just rare, it is nowhere to be found. Thank you Zeus DVD.
I recognized the title, and remembered it from my youth, and knew I wanted it. I love the beauty and mystic of Peru, treasure hunting and Charleston Heston movies. This was a win, win, win for me.
Add to that the unbelievable voice of Yma Sumac.
Wow! Has anyone ever heard of her, outside of this movie? That alone is worth the price of admission.
Beautiful print, sharp, clear, wonderful color

I couldn't have asked for a better print. The film itself is average. The selling point is that much of it was shot on location in Peru with wonderful sequences in the Inca Ruins. The plot is bearable.
