    A WARNING THAT IS STILL VALID

    Conventional but beautiful documentary with a warning of how to treat our planet that is still valid, if not even more. Victor de Kowa's narration is a bit too cosy; the fine music is that typical 50's documentary music, a genre that, alas, became extinct somewhere in the 60's (like probably some the animals in this film): Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.

      Narrator: If only their ivory were not so valuable! Until recently, the tusks of 40,000 elephants were exported each year, to be carved into fancy figures, billiard balls, and piano keys.
