Such was the nickname of Anthony Steel,who one could say was the English equivalent to Randolph Scott in terms of his imobile features.

Ealing Studios were great exponents of producing films in the Empire and colonies. Here they had the advantage of Technicolour which is used to its best advantages. Lots of shots of animal wildlife.

It highlighlights the concerns about animal wildlife existed when this film was madeToo many rich individuals thought it was sport to go and hunt wild game. John Huston did this whilst he was engaged on making The African Queen.

Anthony Steel gives his standard wooden performance as the game warden. Dinah Sheridan looks very fetching. She soon abandoned her career after marriage to Rank chief axeman John Davis.

Anthony Steele plays a game warden who, fed up with animals being killed, seemingly by upper class Brits, sets up a game reserve. Supported by wife Dinah Sheridan he faces villager discontentment, bureaucracy and upper class British ivory hunters.

Whilst rather old fashioned and politically a little out of step by today's standards, this is an attractive and enjoyable enough jungle romp with Steele doing his best matinee idol bit and for a good cause, with Sheridan does a good typical fifties wifey. Every scene intercuts with an animal of some sort and the scenery is of course spectacular, all interlaced with a stuck up Brits being pompous and doomed to fail in the face of tough guy Steele. Pleasant enough matinee fare.
