Trivia:
When the Motion Picture Herald reviewer doubted the authenticity of the animal fight sequences, Terry Ramsaye, editor of Motion Picture Herald, defended the film's authenticity, claiming that the animal action was all shot "in a compound adjacent to the city of Singapore, in the Straits Settlements." Ramsaye added, "The scenes staged and recorded in the compound may be accepted as dramatically reasonable reconstructions of what actually happens in the open jungle." moreFAQ

You will never find a better time capsule of 1933 than Bring 'Em Back Alive. This spectacular and horrifying documentary gets you inside the world and mind of one of the most celebrated hunters (and anthropologists!) of all time. This should be seen as one of the few surviving cinematic treatises on the state of wildlife in 1933 and also as a very telling piece of history.
