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!:

Much of the action sequence audio had to be re-dubbed due to John Wayne's cursing while wrestling with the animals.
Little Wolf was a chief of the Cheyenne tribe in 1878. He, and another chief, led the Cheyenne off their Oklahoma reservation and took them back to their homeland in Montana. This despite hundreds of U.S. Cavalry who tried to stop them. This was called the "Cheyenne Autumn Trail" and is the basis for the movie Cheyenne Autumn.
Howard Hawks:  He appears in at least two scenes in the movie: The first appearance is in the back of the truck when they are chasing the Rhino toward the end of the movie. He is standing on the right wearing a hat and mostly looking down/back. The second appearance is when they are standing listening to Pockets read the letter from Dallas. He walks through the hall behind the scene.
