Lots from the 50s

Africa adventures were a Hollywood staple until the 1960s. Most were forgetable 'bwana' movies, but some were very good. Just the other night, I saw "Mogambo" on Turner Classics. It's a Clark Gable-Ava Gardner pot-boiler but has a lot of marvelous "Old Africa" stuff including genuine angry gorilla footage that Jane Goodall wouldn't approve of. One of my favorites is Huston's "The Roots of Heaven" with Trevor Howard at his best with Errol Flynn trying to stop elephant hunting. "Naked Prey" is another that holds up well. "King Solomom's Mines" is corny as hell but has a lot of interesting bush and tribal footage...and the late Deborah Kerr in one of her early lead roles.

Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy - WB Yeats
