Wonderful movie, fun, and very exciting. John Wayne at his best. I enjoyed the animals, Africa and the movie in all its entity.

Animals, thrills, and romance, Wayne-style
"Hatari!" is the story of a very likeable group of men who live in Africa and catch animals for zoos. They include Sean Mercer (John Wayne), Pockets (Red Buttons) and Kurt (Hardy Kruger). A photographer named Dallas (Elsa Martinelli) comes to spend a season and everyone is surprised (and delighted) to find that she is a woman, and a beautiful one at that. She goes out on hunts with the guys and is attracted to Sean; he likes her, too, although he won't admit it. Pockets and Kurt fight over their old boss' daughter, Brandy, who is all grown up now.

There is plenty of wild animal action (the actors really did catch the animals), plenty of fun, and innocent romance, too. John Wayne has one of his best roles as the rugged he-man who acts all dopey around a pretty girl. German heartthrob Hardy Kruger is the reason I watch this movie over and over again. Miss Martinelli is very good as the Italian beauty who falls hard for Sean and is the object of two baby elephants' affections, as well. The whole family can enjoy the breathtaking animal scenes, the strong bond of friendship shared by the little group, and the adventure of living in Africa. Heartily recommended.

Typical John Wayne Classic
John Wayne shined in this Africa Safari. Wayne and his crew of sharp shooters and africa tribe people go and capture animals that are order from zoos in the United States. yet, still Wayne has to put up with a female photgrapher that the Indian gave permission to come to Africa to take photo's of the crew and what they do. Two questions need to be answered in the classic. First can this crew get the animals that are order without getting hurt and the second question is what will the crew do after the season over. I like this movie just for the fact that I will never make it to Africa and this was as close as I would get. I give this movie 5 wessel stars.
