Lord of the Flies 1963 - 3 stars out of 5 stars


Based on a powerful novel for its time,this 1963 release that runs 92 minutes and is in B&W is not as powerful now as then,too many terrible things have happened to make this movie seem somewhat tame today,however its worth a view for those who wish to relieve the past classic tales and a idea of what may have helped more recent  film and novel writers gain inspiration.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.

 A group of young boys are stranded alone on an island. Left to fend for themselves, they must take on the responsibilities of adults, even if they are not ready to do so. Inevitably, two factions form: one group (lead by Ralph) want to build shelters and collect food, whereas Jack's group would rather have fun and HUNT; illustrating the difference between civilization and savagery.
