"One of our Dinosaurs is Missing" released 1975


Disney Studios released its spy caper One Of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing July 9, 1975.  The comedy film starred Helen Hayes, Peter Ustinov and Joan Hickson (of Miss Marple fame).

The film was based on a book The Great Dinosaur Robbery, which was an adult novel.  The authors were disappointed when Disney decided to turn the story into a kid's film.

The Diplodocus skeleton model in the movie was used in Star Wars IV: A New Hope when C3PO is stranded on Tatooine and sees the Jawa transporter.
