I would like to also concur with most of the previous posters. This movie was perhaps one of the most memorable movie of my entire life. I was first captivated by it when I was about 12-years-old to our 7th or 8th grade Civics & Geography class. It was shown along with another movie about a boy who lived in a tree in Canada--anyone remember that classic?--as well as,the politically motivated film "Z." Apparently it was shown for about ten or more years thereafter, until the projector and the film it self fell into complete disarray....Along with a few other great movies, in my opinion, this is one of the greatest movies of all time.
I'm still completely perplexed for the reasons it hasn't been re-released either on DVD or shown on TCM by now? This is truly bizarre. For many years, I always thought the name was "Mogambo"--which was also shown in our school. Nowadays these poor kids are shown a lot of gobbledygook. This ought to be amongst all of the masterpieces, such as, Bread & Chocolate; Dr.Zhivago; The Adventurers, etc.
If anyone has any information of how to get a copy of it, please let me know. So far very few movies were ever made the way the Director in this film created it.
This is a very psychologically uplifting and powerful film. Ironically, I've mentioned this movie to many people, most who are over 30-years of age, in nearly any country, and they can somehow recall this film.
