Customer Reviews

Howard Hawks' classic with John Wayne on the veldt.

Sean Mercer (John Wayne) and his co-workers are in the business of capturing wild African animals for zoos. They fill a quota of exotic animals, including the dangerous rhinos. They take on a representative D'Allesandro; the representative turns out to be a woman (Elsa Martinelli), and of course, this is a man’s work. To top this off, the female who grew up with them is coming of age and stirring up some rivalry for her affections. All the people and situations are fun to watch. Some are a little cutesy, but they work. For example, in one scene, all the animals watch on apprehensively as a thorn is pulled out of one’s side. They play "Baby Elephant Walk (Instrumental)” as Elsa Martinelli becomes a surrogate mother. Will the Indian (Bruce Cabot) survive his deadly encounter with the rhino? When they capture the monkeys, look closely at the birdcage helmet. Is it the same one used in “Bachelor in Paradise” (1961)? Not only is this a good movie with the standard Wayne formula, but it also has many of the actors who travel from one John Wayne movie to another.
