Another famous movie with an Irish theme. Set in Africa a TCD graduate heads off alone to find a diamond mine. His daughter gets an explorer to help find him. They battle the desert elements (which must have influenced the movie Legend of the lost), a fierce tribe (which must have influenced the movie Zulu), and a mine inside a volcano (which must have influenced the Indiana Jones movies). There's a lot of talk about Ireland and references to the Irish so worth a mention on this blog. This review is for the 1930's movie which for some reason is easier to find on DVD than the colour one from the 1950s.
