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

Much of the action sequence audio had to be re-dubbed due to John Wayne's cursing while wrestling with the animals.
Howard Hawks allegedly bought Elsa Martinelli's tight fitting safari suits himself at a New York department store.
According to director Howard Hawks, all the animal captures in the picture were performed by the actual actors; no stuntmen or animal handlers were substituted onscreen. The rhino really did escape, and the actors really did have to recapture it - and Hawks included the sequence for its realism.
