Beautiful Setting & Superb Soundtrack!, 7 June 1999
10/10
Author: Craig Chilton (xanadu7@ibm.net) from Evansdale, Iowa

An interesting plot, but this film's best aspects include the wonderful African scenery and wildlife, and one of the very BEST soundtracks ever set to film. As I write this, six people have voted on it, herein, and the average rating is 9.2 out of 10! Yet, this wonderful film seems to be totally unavailable on video! There's something very wrong with that! THIS film should be in the stores!!
