Amazon.com video review:
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
