Trivia
Deborah Kerr landed her role in the film almost inadvertently when she expressed her wish to play the part of Rose in The African Queen (1951) to MGM production chief Dore Schary. Schary told her that Warner Bros. had the rights to The African Queen, but that he had a starring role for her in another African-set story that M-G-M owned. See more »Goofs
When escaping the cave they use their torches to find the incoming air and leave by that route. However, during their escape they have to submerge to find the outlet of the underground river. This would act as an air trap, much like the trap in sink drains, and prevent any air flow coming into the cave. See more »Quotes
Allan Quatermain: Mrs. Curtis, the average life of a man in my profession is approximately eight years. Now, I've been at it for fifteen, so you see, I've been living on borrowed time. My wife died here six years ago. Sooner or later, an animal, or an unfriendly native, or a tropical disease will get me. I have a son in England. There'll be very little money for him if anything should happen to me in the ORDINARY course of events, but the money you're offering would provide very nicely for the boy until he's old...See more »

The film follows an excellent hunter (Granger) who is payed to go on a safari to find the lost husband of Deborah Kerr and Richard Carlson. He reluctantly agrees. Along the way they run into different perils. Including many tribes that want the group dead.
The film is very exciting. And you feel for the characters when they come into contact with danger. I wish more action films could make you do that. The performances are the reason behind this. It's too bad that the actors and actresses in the film weren't nominated for Oscars. I doubt they deserved to win, but they deserved to be up.
The script is also very good. It strays away from the book just a little bit. But I have no problem with that because the film, by itself, is very good.
The cinematography and editing are flawless. And they rightly won Oscars. The film was also nominated for Best Picture. It's one of the better adventure films.
