I finished reading the book about a week ago. It's got some pretty good firearms references in it. | |||

Besides his mining expertise, King Solomon also gave excellent parenting advice. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Netflixed that 6 months ago. I was surprised how much my wife and daughters enjoyed it. I knew my son would. Hunting: Exercising dominion over creation at 2800 fps. | |||

Great movie. At least one of the cave scenes was shot in Carlsbad NM - at least that's what the guide said on the tour I took a long while back. | |||

In the first few scenes, the elephant hunt, one of the Germans was using a bolt action rifle that appeared to have a tubular magazine under barrel. What is the rifle? And what might have been an acceptable elephant cartridge for it? It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson | |||

Dont stop there, if youre looking for a good read, Haggard's adventures are fantastic, as much so today as they were when they were first written. If its the cinema you want, dont miss "The Last Safari". Its another Stewart Granger 'keeper'.

I have several of HR Haggard's books on audio book. They make a very nice entertaining listen. Enjoy them with a nice cigar and a tumbler of brandy. | |||

Feb. 16 on TCM 2 A.M. Mogambo 4 A.M. Trader Horn (I never saw this one from 1931, but the write ups are good) 6:15 A.M. King Solomon's Mines (times are for Chicago) Trader Horn is the first non-documentary film shot on location in Africa. The 1931 movie tells of the adventures of real-life trader and adventurer Alfred Aloysius "Trader" Horn on safari in Africa. It featured many authentic shots of African wildlife and a great deal of inauthentic plot. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1931. Edwina Booth, the female lead, contracted a career-ending illness while shooting, for which she sued producers MGM. The film was written by Cyril Hume (dialogue), John Thomas Neville, Richard Schayer and Dale Van Every and Ethelreda Lewis, and directed by W.S. Van Dyke. It was based on a popular book of the time, Trader Horn, by Alfred Aloysius Horn.[1] Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | |||

Re Trader Horn, one of my all-time favorites,few notice that the part of Peru, the rich young South American who got the girl, was played by Duncan Renaldo, later TV's Cisco Kid. Ostensibly a true story of the life of Horn, the part about Peru and the white girl raised as a goddess in an African tribe is supposed to be true too. If it is, she went back to South America as his bride. Who knows. The movie has absolutely great wildlife adventure footage -- including several dead animals. I believe that it is not available on DVD. Apparently Woody Van Dyke, the director, also did Tarzan the Ape Man, San Francisco (with Gable, Jeanette McDonald and Tracy) and the Thin Man films. The book is good too, but I remember the narrative as a bit choppy.
