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
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.
Much of the action sequence audio had to be re-dubbed due to John Wayne's cursing while wrestling with the animals.
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.
