This was some dull film. The moderator on TCM said that Bob Mitchum agreed to do it so that he could take his family on a Hawaiian vacation. The so called African scenery was shot in Hawaii. Mitchum would have been far better off had he skipped Hawaii that year.
The scenes in Africa are dull. The trapping of the so called cat was nothing to talk about. Jack Hawkins plays the guy who asks Mitchum to go on the expedition. He has taken in Elsa Martinelli at the age of 14; she is grown now and he wants to continue to possess her. He tries to show his manliness when he enters the cave where the cat is.
I was wondering where the rampage was when the trio leave Africa and head back to the German zoo. Go know that the Hawkins character would go berserk and unleash the cat as the train enters the station. Even the so called rampage on the German streets is minimal at best. The residents of the building where the cat is are told to make loud noises. I think they were told this to wake up the audiences in the theaters viewing this garbage.
