Director Howard Hawks re-teams with John Wayne, who heads a group of highly skilled professional game hunters in Africa. Only they don't use bullets - they capture the ferocious big game with strong ropes and cameras for zoos and circus attractions. It is an exciting, death-defying business that pits man against beast.

Reviews (1)
A captivating work with animals that you don't see every day. Yes, it's about hunting animals, but if nothing else, it's about hunting for zoos. The way real animals are sometimes treated here is unbelievable. I might even tame my cheetah. John Wayne plays the role of a classic tough guy who needs to be conquered by a woman. Well, it doesn't take her long. Despite the romance stretching throughout the two and a half hour long movie, there are many shots of the African wilderness that are worth it.
