Featured review
The title makes it sound like it is a Tarzan-like jungle movie. Not at all. It is a non-fiction travelogue, but not a "dull one" as another reviewer said. It has very close-up intimate footage of tribes which the exploring party encountered (and lived with) in remote parts of Australia. The racist and superior attitude can easily be ignored and chalked up to the old prevalent way of thinking. The film is very educational. You will learn a lot about these peoples and this land and its wildlife. The exploring party had courage to travel to these remote tribes---they were perhaps some of the only white men ever seen by the tribes-people. There is also intimations of cannibalism. So the party bravely went in there and brought back this priceless footage. I bet any professor of anthropology would agree with me that this is a valuable educational film. It also has funny witty narration (which is also a little corny). All in all, it is a worthwhile unusual film.
