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

In 1960 Clark Gable had agreed to star in the movie with John Wayne, provided he received first billing on the opening credits and $1 million plus 10% of the gross. Paramount however would not raise the budget to finance Gable, so the script was radically changed.
Congo, the baby elephant in the filming, died in November 2000 at the Dubbo Zoo. He was the only male elephant in captivity in Australia at the time.
Much of the action sequence audio had to be re-dubbed due to John Wayne's cursing while wrestling with the animals.
