Hatari! description
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, romanc ... review details

John Wayne's best film!
|
Well, a LOT of people would argue with my heading on this one and they'd probably be right -- but it's MY favorite John Wayne film. *.*
Here, a (non-cowboy) John Wayne earns his living in Africa rounding up wild critters (often at the risk of human life) for zoos. The film is all about the close-knit team who carries out this now-dubious endeavor. A beautiful lady photographer throws a monkey wrench into the works when Wayne is forced to take her along during his expeditions.
What do I love about the film?
The cinematography is simply incredible... none of the wild animal footage looks at all hokey like it does in so many other African-adventure films. The color saturation is just great and the scenery is spectacular.
The movie is bulging with cool old vehicles and other nostalgic impedimenta that one loves to see in this genre.
My favorite aspect of this flick is the filmscore, composed and rendered by whom? Henry Mancini, the old Master. Most of the background music is contemporary to the early 60s themes that one might hear from Alex North ("Cleopatra") or from Les Baxter ("Voodoo Island"). Wonderful stuff!
The casting is near-perfect and I suppose they had to include Red Buttons in this one, who plays a character named "Pockets" -- to me, he's the one hokey facet of the production although I cannot argue that many folks love him in this, and many other movies as well.
In any event, Hatari is one of my top films (see my listmania lists for movies) and it gets my highest recommendation. |
