Movie Reviews of Hatari!

Movie Review: what a life!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the only movie I have ever known where, evry one of the dozens of times I have watched it, I wish I could step into the screen and share this adventure with the characters. The beauty of the East African landscape, the adrenaline and excitement of the hunt, the international group of friends (2 white Americans, 1 Native American, 1 German, 1 Frenchman, 1 Mexican, 1 French woman and 1 Italian woman) who obviously enjoy their friendship as much as they enjoy their job. I watch and wish it was real and wish I was part of it.

Old fashioned adventure, great early sixties style music from Mancini. Actually, in many ways, this film is VERY 1962, the music, the dialogue, the attitudes all fit in with the big living days of the Rat Pack. I'll never get tired of this movie.


Movie Review: Funny Story -- Breathtaking Scenery
Summary: 5 Stars

I first saw Hatari! in a drive-in as a child, and was utterly enchanted by the scenery, Henry Mancini's award winning music, Red Button's comedy, and that hunk Hardy Kruger. Each time since that I've seen the movie, it's just as enjoyable. All of the actors are excellent, but I really enjoy the chemistry between Red Buttons and Elsa Martinelli, as they schemed together to win their loves. Elsa's dance with the Warusha is a stitch, but her bath with three men and a cheetah is not to be missed.

The DVD in widescreen (on my 31" TV) is not quite like that summer night at the drive-in, but almost as good. My speakers are a lot better than the drive-in was... It's an excellent transfer to DVD.

This movie is pure fun. It's a keeper.


Movie Review: Typical John Wayne Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Movie Review: Non decaffeinated Hollywood product
Summary: 5 Stars

Was watching it yesterday with my kids.
This is a non eviscerated, genuine product from another age. Hollywood is now sooo politically correct that everythings seems wrapped in plastic.
First scenes: rhino chase, man gets gored, rushed to hospital.
Crew learns the guy's ok. They smoke like toads, drink like sponges and after the boozing, drive the cars 3 hours to their camp. They arrive so drunk that they need directions to their own bedrooms. Then, they keep chasing live animals for zoos.
Try to see something even similar nowadays.

Outstanding film, and a lot of memories.

Movie Review: Delightful!
Summary: 5 Stars

I remember this film so well! I never failed to see a new John Wayne movie and this one became a real favorite of mine. It was visually beautiful, raucous fun and funny, often exciting and lightly romantic, as well. The genre was refreshing at the time and will surely hold up well as one of Wayne's best films. Red Buttons is also wonderful in this film. The soundtrack is a true classic and the "elephant" music will be immediately recognizable, even today. "Hatari" is a Must for any DVD Library.
