Gil JacksonRobert C. Ruark's 1954 movie "Africa Adventure"
Gentlemen,
I have been searching for a way to obtain a copy of the 1954 movie by Robert C. Ruark entitled "Africa Adventure"
The film follows Harry Selby and John Sutton as they hunt cape buffalo, leopard, rhino and a bull elephant.
Africa Adventure was distributed in the U.S. by RKO Pathe, the newsreel division of RKO Radio Pictures. ---- 16 mm , 64 mins. filmed in 1954.
In 2002 a DVD was produced from the original 16 mm film and donated to "The Robert Ruark Foundation" (Chapel Hill, NC) I have tried in vain to find a way to obtain a copy of this DVD.
Here is a short MOVIE trailer for the film !!!! GREAT FOOTAGE !!!!

Best Regards,

I don't want to start a rush but what would it take to get a copy. I think i see "a make one and send one thing" happening again amongst the AR crew.
There was a huge thread just like this in January. Someone finally posted this link:
http://www.videoscreams.com/Classic%20Horror%20sci%20fi...nd%20more%202007.htmI think the CD number is Q347. I bought a copy and received it in a couple of weeks.Not HD quality, but certainly a serviceable copy for a few bucks. If you want to see the previous thread, do a search on "Ruark Africa Adventure".
