Hatari is my all time favorite John Wayne movies.

DARK OF THE SUN with Rod Taylor is another good African non hunting movie, based on a Wilbur Smith book.

Is the movie good?

If I remember correct Kenya's first ivory burn was a collaboration between Kuki Gallmann and Richard Leaky.

Unfortunately it is aptly named, you will soon be dreaming of something else while viewing this one. A snoozer.

My only real problem with OUT OF AFRICA is the miscasting of a short American playing a rather tallish Englishman in the Finch-Hatton role, when there were lots of good actors out there better suited for the part. I like Redford (as an actor) but he was miscast here. I read that the movie wouldn't have happened without him so I guess we should thank for that. I thought Klaus Maria Brandauer stole the movie as the cad husband of Streep.

The endless summer surf film brought surfing to places in Africa. South Africa had a surf scene but vast portions remained unsurfed

Another Wilbur Smith story that filmed well with Lee Marvin and Roger Moore was SHOUT AT THE DEVIL. A real hoot! Book was great too.

I guess I'm the only surfer here

I guess he is really good in the REVENANT for which he won his first Best Actor Oscar. I have not seen it yet though. Despite his very left politics I like his movies for the most part, but Blood Diamond is my favorite so far. BODY OF LIES is also very good, middle East movie.

Man In the wilderness .....is the original
