Hatari! (1962)

Description

Director HOWARD HAWKS reteams with JOHN WAYNE, who leads 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 men against beast. "Hatari!" means "danger!" in Swahili, but "Hatari!" also means a spectacular adventure film. The fine cast includes HARDY KRUGER, RED BUTTONS and ELSA MARTINELLI, and a sparkling HENRY MANCINI musical score includes the bouncy pop hit tune, "Baby Elephant Walk."
