Description of Hatari!:
Howard Hawks's 1962 adventure-comedy is basically the same, loosely plotted movie Hawks made over and over again for decades. A collection of professionals with a common goal--in this case, animal trapping in Tanganyika--forms a pocket community and holds each other to high standards in their work. This is a film about camaraderie, crisp banter, romance, and exciting action (the animal sequences are great). John Wayne played this part in about a thousand ways for Hawks over the years, and he could not be more entertaining as a grizzled pro. --Tom Keogh

Light Hearted Fun with John Wayne
2009-01-03 - Hatari! is an outstanding John Wayne movie. Set in Tanganyika, now known as Tanzania in east Africa, Sean Mercer (John Wayne) stars as part of a team of big game hunter who capture animals for shipment to zoos around the world. But the fun of the movie is the arrival of Dallas,( Elisa Martinelli) a photographer from the Baliz Zoo sent to photograph the capture of the animals only to be a total pain in the butt for John Wayne who really wishes she wasn't there. This movie is a full of action and a lighthearted comedy to boot as Dallas just seems to be a natural around the animals, particularly baby elephants who just seem to flock to her.
While probably not known to the average movie watcher, Hatari! is famous, not for the movie, but for a well known tune "Baby Elephant Walk", by Henry Mancini.
The movie is long; over 2 and ½ hours but it is well worth seeing for the scenic beauty of Africa and the fun and humor of the interplay between the cast members, not to mention the baby elephants running through the town in search of "Mama". This is a genuine classic movie that can be watched and enjoyed by everyone in the family regardless of age. You won't regret watching Hatari!
