Wayne heads a group of men who make their living by capturing wild animals for zoos throughout the world. Into this male-dominated circle enters sensuous, man-eating Martinelli, and the group is never the same--especially Wayne, who ends up marrying her. The story is nothing more than a
poor excuse for what Hawks really seems to be interested in presenting--big-game chases over the Kenyan veldt. These sequences are so well done that they save this otherwise-tepid film. An Oscar nomination went to Harlan for his cinematography.
