| I like the movie OK, but after watching it once or twice, I doubt you would watch it again. I would just rent it. |

| I bought it a couple of years ago and enjoy watching it every few months. It's a great movie. The best "hunting" film ever made. It includes wonderful archival footage of TR's safari in British East Africa and is worth the price for that alone.
The scenes with Robin Hurt are terrific. He is an articulate and passionate advocate for African hunting and offers true and lasting insights.
I would bet that if you rent it first, you will buy it for future viewing, especially with your kids and non-hunting friends. |

This is the reason that I am interested in this film. I really do love the old hunting footage, whether video or print. I think adding to the collection would be a wise choice. Hell I have wasted more on a bad dinner then the price of this dvd.
Thanks all,

| I own it, have watched it 2-3 times and keep on hand to show to anyone who doesn't understand hunting but is open-minded.
Glad to hear it's available on DVD. |

A tragic piece of "back story" I've read in a review -- the brush fire shown in the movie actually killed one of the camp staff, and destroyed one of the historic rifles used.
