HATARI! (Theatrical Release USA 1962)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì 

Hatari!—one of John Wayne’s better works—features a great deal of African scenery and wildlife. It has a little romance thrown in at all the right places and has an interest factor of how wild animals were caught before using tranquilizing guns. Watch for Bruce Cabot and Red Buttons as well as lesser-known cast members that create a good team. Thank you to Director Howard Hawks for making a film worth watching.
