Posts from Senta in thread „Hatari (1962)“

Hi Nicole,
Thank you for your information, sad enough. It is interesting how our descussion of the movie turns out to the animal welfare and problems. But it is great thing which I love in Duke movies that they opened some new sides of the world for me.
Regards,

Also in all honesty for many people other than the old wild kingdom you dont see the african plains looking like that anymore, it is a step back time. game is not nearly as plentiful now..

hi Nicole,
But why? I visited the site devoted to the place were Hatari was filmed and it looks exactly the same. Have you ever been in Africa?

Hi all,
I agree with you Nicole about catching the animals. I was wondering, while watching, why they was not using some kind of sleeping bullets? And it is very impressive to know that the actors of the film did all catchings themselves. And one of them even bought the farm, were film was shoot. There is a link to it at the beginning of this thread.
By the way I reread pages in Alissa's Wayne book about filming this movie and find it awful and selfish. She didn't like beeing at location at all (and couldn't see nothing over it) and also she didn't like when Duke bring a baby elephant at her bithday.

Hi all,
I watched yesterday Hatari! for the first time and really like it/ It is a very entertaining lighthearted movie. Some moments and lines of dialoge are funny. And of course beautiful landscapes and animals! I wish i could see Africa some day!
