Hatari

Director Howard Hawks re-teams with John Wayne, who heads a group of highly skilled professional game hunters in Africa. Only they don't use bullets – they capture the ferocious big game with strong ropes and cameras for zoos and circus attractions. It is an exciting, death-defying business that pits man against beast.

“Hatari” means danger in Swahili, but Hatari also means a spectacular adventure film.

The fine cast also includes Hardy Kruger, Red Buttons, and Elsa Martinelli, and a sparkling Henry Mancini musical score that includes the bouncy pop hit tune, “Baby Elephant Walk”.
