“Secret of the Incas” 1954 an adventure film that influences“Indiana Jonas and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” 1981.  In “Secret of the Incas” Charlton Heston as Harry Steele has a hat, coat, and other things similar to those of Indiana Jones played by Harrison Ford in “Raiders of the Lost Ark”.  Moreover, Harry uses a shaft of light in the tomb as does Indiana in the Map Room at the Nazi dig site.

Nicole Maurey as Elena Antonescu and Thomas Mitchell as Ed Morgan add to the action in Peru.  Meanwhile Indiana travels the world in search of the Ark.  His adventures also include Marion Ravenwood a former lover played by Karen Allen and a host of heroes to ne’er-do-wells.  Enjoy the action.

We recorded this in 2021, the 40th anniversary of Raiders Of The Lost Arc
