Hatari!

John Wayne stars as Sean Mercer, a tough trapper who travels the world to capture animals and sell them to zoos. As he and his ragtag crew roam the plains of Africa searching for giraffes and zebras, they encounter Anna Maria "Dallas" D'Allesandro (Elsa Martinelli), a beautiful photographer who asks to travel with them. While the crew presses on, the excitement of the chase inevitably causes feelings of attraction to grow between gruff Mercer and pretty Dallas. Stunning wildlife photography colors this classic from legendary director Howard Hawks. Academy Award Nominations: Best (Color) Cinematography.

  Good clean Adventure!
  
  I know that from today's perspective, hunting big game in Africa to send to zoos and circuses isn't exactly PC. But when this film was made, it was a ... read more »

  Lovely film
  
  This film of John Wayne's is brilliant. Lots of animals up close and thrilling chases. All done before dart guns were about, as well. Excellant film.
