Hatari! Overview:

Hatari! (1962) was a Action - Adventure Film directed by Howard Hawks and produced by Howard Hawks.

SYNOPSIS

Wayne leads the way in an exciting action adventure about big-game hunters in Africa. The wildlife photography is top-notch and there's just enough of a story to bridge the action sequences. Interesting to watch how the hunters safely capture their prey for sale to zoos.

Facts about Hatari!:

Hatari means "danger" in Swahili.
According to Hardy Krüger's autobiography, the film crew rented all vehicles available in Tanzania, even the privately owned ones.
Many critics carped that the film seemed like a lazy vacation for Hawks. They were partly right - there was no finished script and Hawks relished the chance of filming what he wanted on location in Tanganyika--now Tanzania--far away from the watchful eye of the studio, happily burning through their $6 million budget.
