Hatari! (1962)

Description

Brand New HDR/Dolby Vision Master - From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative! Legendary director Howard Hawks (Red River, Rio Bravo) re-teams with "The Duke" John Wayne (Sands of Iwo Jima, Donovan's Reef), who stars as the leader of 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 business that pits man against beast. "Hatari" is Swahili for "danger" - and also the word for action, adventure, romance and broad comedy in this two-fisted Hawks effort that provides rousing entertainment for people of all ages! The fine cast also includes Hardy Krüger (A Bridge Too Far), Red Buttons (Sayonara) and beautiful Elsa Martinelli (The Belle Starr Story); with a script by longtime Hawks cohort Leigh Brackett (fl Dorado, Rio Lobo), Oscar-nominated Technicolor cinematography by Russell Harlan (To KIW a Mockingbird) and the fabulous music of Henry Mancini (Arabesque).
