Featured review
This is an enjoyable adventure movie set i 1919 Africa. As for the cast, it's really a story of three main characters, and all the actors do a fine job, with well-played, subtle interactions at times. In terms of acting, David Farrar stands out to me as being very impressive.
George Montgomery makes a good adventure hero, and in many scenes he will remind you so much of Indiana Jones! Right down to the hat and the bare chest! He's super-handsome. I wasn't familiar with Taina Elg--she is Finnish, I think--a lovely actress.
This is an adventure movie, but with a more deliberate, or slower, pace than we are used to today. I find that difference refreshing. One very notable quality of this movie, is the use of some really great stock footage of Africa--there are many beautiful scenes of abundant wildlife. The matching of that footage with the actual movie isn't always perfect, but why be critical about that? Just enjoy scenes that often feature many different animals. George Montgomery fans, of whom I am one, will especially like this movie.
