Quotes from
Allan Quatermain:
...in the end you begin to accept it all... you watch things hunting and being hunted, reproducing, killing and dying, it's all endless and pointless, except in the end one small pattern emerges from it all, the only certainty: one is born, one lives for a time then one dies, that is all...
Allan Quatermain: The only way out of this is... suffocation.
Allan Quatermain: Stupid waste, this safari. All of it! Half our supplies gone now, after that all-night stampede. Wasted! Waste of time, supplies, and lives.
Elizabeth Curtis: Glares at him, too sleepy to argue.
Allan Quatermain: Well, I hope the lady enjoyed it!

Facts about
The Deborah Kerr character -- a screenwriter's invention -- does not appear in H. Rider Haggard's novel.
Errol Flynn was originally cast as Quartermain, but turned it down, as he did not desire to sleep in a tent on location in Africa. Instead he did Kim, which was filmed in India, but the accommodations for the actors were at a local resort.
The movie has no music score whatever. The only thing at all musical in the film is some African chanting and drums.
