Where No Vultures Fly (1951)
Director: Harry Watt
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Ealing moved from their modest studios to the wide open spaces of Kenya for this time-locked colonial adventure. Steel is square-jawed as the warden of Mt Kilimanjaro Game Reserve, seeing off ivory hunter Warrender and the local tribesmen he's stirred into helping him. Former documentarist Watt slightly makes up for the shortcomings in the plotting with some evocative wildlife footage (by Paul Beeson).Author: TJ
