Richard Kiel plays the title-named creature--a misplaced caveman found living in the California mountains near Palm Springs. A low-budget mess photographed by Vilis Lapeneicks, who later shot Nancy Sinatra's "Movin With Nancy" and the acclaimed "Cisco Pike". Still, criticizing it too harshly would be like tripping a midget; it has been made with all the know-how these filmmakers seem to possess. The people who discover Eegah are an uproarious lot (a kid with too much Brylcreem in his hair, a brassy young woman who sort of resembles Frances McDormand, and an overweight daddy in tweed suits and a thin little mustache). Kiel roams the streets in full caveman regalia (holding a big plastic club with a thorn in it) looking into store windows--at those sexy mannequins!--while on the trail of his woman who apparently has a scent that drives cavemen crazy. She's busy getting down at the local pool party. Calling 007! *1/2 from ****
