Review of Safari

Safari (1956)
10/10
One of the BEST adventure films--EVER
6 July 2009
I LOVE this film and it is SHAMEFUL that there is not a DVD out.

Great director, great actors deserve it.

One of the greatest stage and film actors ever to come out of England, John Justin, the talented and beauteous Janet Leigh, the most masculine actor I've ever seen, Victor Mature, and a superb supporting cast make this film endearing, and above all else white-knuckled action. There is romance, and sexual tension, danger, pathos, heroism, and all of the frailties of the human condition are on display here.

It is very, very sad that more film goers are not exposed to this little gem. Filmed on location in Africa and every scene is powerful. If you are tired of films that are really nothing more than special effects and NOISE then watch this film, you will NOT be disappointed.

GIVE US A DVD version with a pristine print. PLEASE oh gods of the arts.
