Question: This 1962 films full title adds The Name Written in Blood. Our hero, a pre-historic caveman, falls in love with a gal from the 1960s. This sounds a little bit like Blast from the Past where a man emerges from a bomb shelter after 35 years. The budget for the film was an astounding $15,000 but it grossed only $3000. Luckily the hapless caveman fared better as the steel-toothed Jaws who appeared in some of the James Bond movies.
