Really someone in a gorilla suit! The best that they could do. Even on a budget they could have used an animal.
Nice
I love it!
First scene with the guy in a gorilla suit quite funny where it was supposed to be rivetting.
Strange. A sort of glorified B movie with two A-list stars.
terrific movie. greed, compassion, love
Great movie and in color. I kept looking for Tarzan.
Those hymn books would have been translated into Swahili anyway. She didn't need to take them.
👍🤗👌
Good movie!!!!
❤ Robert Mitchum ❤
❤ Susan Hayward ❤
No doubt blacks most live in Africa. All that super culture medicine and tecnology… They can arrive into the moon whithout whites. lol
59:49 Robert Mitchum puts his hat on at a very crooked angle on his head.
Epilogue: All these beautiful people were handed over to the Belgians, who enslaved them and cut off their hands if they didn't work hard enough. They finally won their independence and then became enslaved to the neo-colonialists, who wanted their resources. Western-backed coups and genocides followed and are continuing to this day.
White privilege movie
Poor gorilla and lion. I'd rather have the born free and stay free. I think in 1907 the Belgian Congo wasn't Belgian yet. They just mentioned that. It was still the Congo Free State, the personal property of King Leopold II of the Belgians. His regime was that of misrule and exploitation. The Congolese were treated most cruelly.
Less than 4 minutes in and already the obligatory gibberish posing as an actual African language.
Love, love, love Robert Mitchum and Susan Hayward! Excelleni movie! I really enjoyed this movie. Thank you for posting! Blessings!
That cornball gorilla with human eye slits was off putting from the start, and Robert Mitchum was always third rate
(I won't use the word actor) Save time . this is a waste of it.
Thanks for the good quality.It,s a very very long time when I was very young I saw this flig
Susan Hayward one of the best looking and attractive woman in Hollywood, plus a top actress.
Any movie with the underrated Bob in it is fine by me!
It's very obvious the gorilla at the beginning of the movie, is not a real gorilla. They could at least made the mask to hide the eyes, nose and lips of the man in the gorilla suit.
The one memorable thing about this film: Bernard Herrmann's superb music score.

Great
Come on. It's a Mitchum movie. Sit back and enjoy the man doing what he does best – acting without acting like he's acting.
Standards of feminine (and masculine) pulchritude were considerably higher in those days than they are in these degenerating times.
Movies, though cliched, were more original too: not the endless declining diminuendo of successively inferior "reboots" we are subjected to today.
At worst we live in a culture that has run out of ideas; at best in a society where new ideas are ignored (or suppressed) because the money men own the rights to all the old worn out garbage.
