Howard Hawks's 1962 adventure-comedy is basically the same, loosely plotted movie Hawks made over and over again for decades. A collection of professionals with a common goal--in this case, animal trapping in Tanganyika--forms a pocket community and holds each other to high standards in their work. This is a film about camaraderie, crisp banter, romance, and exciting action (the animal sequences are great). John Wayne played this part in about a thousand ways for Hawks over the years, and he could not be more entertaining as a grizzled pro. --Tom Keogh

I first saw this movie when I was a little kid and enjoyed it immensely.Now that I am an adult,if anything I enjoy it more.It is the story of a group of adventurers who capture animals for zoos,a job desription that is pretty much extinct in the 21st century.John Wayne does his usual bang-up job as the leader with the delicious Elsa Martinelli(the reason why I enjoy the movie even more now)as his love interest.The co-stars include Hardy Krueger,Red Buttons and Wayne's often used friend,Bruce Cabot.The story is very episodic,but,laced with humor and action and a bit of romance,it never lags and holds your interest from the opening scene to the last.This is quite simply one of the most fun movies the Duke ever filmed.If you are looking for some fun time spent in front of the TV,this is a great way to spend a couple of hours or so.

A classic John Wayne film. This film takes place in Africa where Wayne and company have a business capturing mostly large animals for zoos. The action sequences are well done and it's great to see the abundance of African wildlife. My 7 year old loves this show and loves the "pockets" character (played by Red Buttons) in particular.

"Hatari!" has long been a personal favorite for its adventure, excitement, thrills, laughs, cinematography, sound track, and overall entertainment. "Hatari!" was the first movie I ever went to see more than once; I wore out two sound track records listening to Henry Mancini's marvelous music; and the film was the first VHS I ever purchased. As my tapes were starting to go bad, I finally purchased the DVD. I was quite relieved that all 157 minutes are on one disc, and in wide screen. (How I long for more movies that dare to defy the establishment and release films that take their time to evolve). Having just watched it, I felt compelled to write a review for this epic movie.
"Hatari!" (which means "danger" in Swahili) is in some ways a "modern" day western: jeeps and trucks have replaced the horse, but the "cowboys" are still using ropes to capture (or round up) the animals to take to "market" (the zoo, in this case). But "Hatari!" is also a bit of a documentary (and lampoons this through Elsa Martinelli's character Anna Maria 'Dallas' D'Allesandro, who is there to photographically "document" the catching of the animals). And it is very good; albeit the portrayal of the local native populations and the attitudes of the non-Africans are aloof and condescending (a "portrait of Africa still dominated by non-Africans").
True to nearly all of John Wayne's movies, the actor did nearly all of the scenes himself--for which much of the audio had to be re ... Read More

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It has adventure, comedy, romance...and Henry Mancini's music. What's not to like?

This is my 8 year old son's favorite movie and has inspired him to watch and buy many old classics. If only more kids were given access to really good movies then maybe the tide of mindless crap that flows into our theatres and homes would be stemmed and kids demanded better story lines cleaner plots and better acting...I pray that he goes on to love the old movies and works to restore tham...and keep them alive..
