SECRET OF THE INCAS is a typical action adventure flick of the 1950s, featuring Charlton Heston as an Indiana Jones prototype on the hunt for some lost but priceless treasure. This one boasts location photography in Peru but is mainly of interest for being one of the movies that most inspired Spielberg's RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. The adventure template plays out as expected, with lots of courtship, flirting, romance, betrayal, backstabbing and some run-ins with local colour and flavour and a sinister sniper to boot. Hardly profound, but it does the job.
