John Wayne Double Feature Hatari & Donovan's Reef 2 DVD Includes Bonus Movie Art Card

Hatari DVD:

Hatari! is Swahili for "danger"-and also the word for action, adventure and broad comedy in this two-fisted Howard Hawks effort. John Wayne stars as the head of a daring Tanganyka-based group which captures wild animals on behalf of the world's zoos. Hardy Kruger, G+ªrard Blain and Red Buttons are members of Wayne's men-only contingent, all of whom are reduced to jello when the curvaceous Elsa Martinelli enters the scene. In tried and true Howard Hawks fashion, Martinelli quickly becomes "one of the guys," though Wayne apparently can't say two words to her without sparking an argument. The second half of this amazingly long (159 minute) film concerns the care and maintenance of a baby elephant; the barely credible finale is devoted to a comic pachyderm stampede down an urban African street, ending literally at the foot of Martinelli's bed.

Donovan's Reef:

"Guns" Donovan (John Wayne), "Boats" Gilhooley (Lee Marvin), and "Doc" Dedham (Jack Warden) are former Navy men who live a leisurely life on an idyllic Pacific island where they had fought during World War II. But Donovan finds his boozing and brawling ways could be coming to an end when he falls for Doc's estranged daughter (Elizabeth Allen), who arrives on the island to determine if her father is worthy of collecting a sizable family inheritance. Cesar Romero and Dorothy Lamour co-star; directed by John Ford. 109 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital mono, French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; theatrical trailer.
