Amazon.com Howard Hawks's 1962 adventure-comedy is basically the same, loosely plotted movie Hawks made over and over again for decades. A collection of professionals with a common goal--in this case, animal trapping in Tanganyika--forms a pocket community and holds each other to high standards in their work. This is a film about camaraderie, crisp banter, romance, and exciting action (the animal sequences are great). John Wayne played this part in about a thousand ways for Hawks over the years, and he could not be more entertaining as a grizzled pro. --Tom Keogh

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It has adventure, comedy, romance...and Henry Mancini's music. What's not to like?

This is my 8 year old son's favorite movie and has inspired him to watch and buy many old classics. If only more kids were given access to really good movies then maybe the tide of mindless crap that flows into our theatres and homes would be stemmed and kids demanded better story lines cleaner plots and better acting...I pray that he goes on to love the old movies and works to restore tham...and keep them alive..

One of John Wayne's best non-western movies. The movie takes place in Africa following a band of exotic animal "hunters" who capture animals for zoos. There's plenty of action & an international cast that's pretty good. Red Buttons co-stars & all but steals the movie. Hardy Krueger (Flight of the Phoenix) is here also as a more than credible assistant. Elsa Martinelli is the female lead but is weak in her portrayal.
This is about where Wayne began his dabbling with international casts, male & female. In general these casts were weak which only served to make the Duke look better. The film director is Howard Hawks, whom Wayne had worked with before on numerous occasions, so the film is in very capable hands. In this movie we get actilon, comedy & drama. The scenery is great. We also get a song that was a classic "Baby Elephant Walk". I dare you not to hum along while this is playing. This is a very good movie & stands as one of John Wayne's best films, no matter which genre.

great mix of comedy and adventure, although a little long but well worth the watch
