Audience Member Pretty awful jungle picture was only watchable for me because I like Mariette Hartley. the rest of the story about great white hunters in Africa is pretty stereotypical and racist. The film is filled with obvious stock footage and it also sprinkled with Frankie Avalon bursting into song, because jungle adventurers do that, right? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member uses alot of stock footage from others, like 'trader horn' and 'mogambo' Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member the beach folks go to africa for this kinda adventure kinda musical. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
