This is a great movie, and it was made without the aid of computers and such. It was made when actors and directors had morals and cared what they were putting before their audiences. They had to work harder to produce such outstanding movies.
One of those aging Hollywood Gems. I never heard about this film before now, and I am 58 years old. This is a very fine movie. Good acting, good idea. Good location sequences. Mitchum was always a very believable leading Male Role, and he was a sparkler in so many films. Susan Hayworth was pretty much Hollywood Rovalty, and a great actress, and she is great in this feature. I think Robert Mitchum is perfect for this, as he was for Heaven Knows, Mr Allison. My favorite film he was ever in. Now this one joins my list of great Movies I never knew about. Thanks to whomever posted it. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie until the audio stopped working at around 56 minutes.
This is a great find that I have never seen before. Must make time at home to see it because of it's stellar cast of the lovely, Susan Hayward and Robert Mitchum. The theme too sounds intriguing!
RM andSG a complete package for a great story fantastic acting by so many people it's so wonderful that all these years later it's appealing as then thank you for this timeless classic ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The musical instrument called the Serpent, of early European origin...a wind instrument...was used in the soundtrack of this film and also to great effect in the 1959 James Mason version of Journey to the Center of the Earth.
"Leo Carrillo State Beach - 35000 W. Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, California, USA" was established and to date has been featured as background in almost 80 movies, including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)- where they emerge from the caverns unto an underground sea- and them big man eatin' lizards.
I've held the director's working script to this movie in my hands. This script and many other Henry Hathaway working annotated script's are at The AFI American Film Institute, in the Cecil B DeMille library in Hollywood
I had thought this might have been a remake of African Queen, having been produced just two years after that great movie. I was wrong. It's a fine story on it's own and well produced. Mitchum and Hayward hold their own compared to Bogart and Hepburn. They just don't make them like these two films anymore.
The movie is so good until audio stopped working 45 minutes into the movie. I tried on my phone & 2 tablet s movie has no sound after 45 minutes. PISSED OFF ❗️💯❗️
and i thought it was me. spent 30 min trying to figure out tech, when it was the film all along. Many minutes later after 10 sidetracks I went to comments and you saved me. thanks. good movie from historical perspective.
Better than its pulp fiction title. Beautiful African music, talking drums, locals, language, and locales. Sound missing in several places. Mitchum's character and tone of movie mostly respectful. Not entirely free of colonialist snark, mostly from the mouth of Hayward, though the plot twist reveals the reason.
YT you can stuff these old films with as many adverts as you want but do you think anyone will buy or use the services? You are just peeing people off by putting so many into one film and I can guarantee each advert will be quickly skipped and I will never use whatever is being sold. Just so that you know you are wasting your time and I will boycott all the adverts you put in.
It's enjoyable to be able to re-catchup on these films. When they were Directed well, and the storylines were well scripted. Recall others around this period, Daktari and one with Stewart Grainger as well. Along the same embodiment of work. Now a days, Mr. Douglas (Mitchum), would be some actor whos' biceps would be ripping his short sleeves and with some kind of superpower. (Ohara) would be over dressed to the hilt but showing all the right other stuff. As well as the canoes, not really canoes at all but some hyper boat equipped with all the AI laser tech. Right down to the AI Monkeys doing more than swinging from trees. And of course, the subject matter itself wouldn't be an ethical one at all. Just a lot of hero that doesn't really need to save the Nurse. Because she herself is a hero also. There is a lot to say for movies such as this on against the gobbledy goop being produced today
@@realskybluepink9124 Great. And it was probably before the FDA authorized 599 chemicals to be put in commercial cigs. One of the chemicals is pyrazines which are addictive. NOT nicotine which thanks to Bryan Ardis, DC, we now know isn't.
Zanuck demanded that the original story of [Emily] Louise Allender Stinetorf (who had been a Quaker missionary in Palestine) be jettisoned [in favor of an] action and a love story.
Great film ruined by posting a unwatchable copy! Pointless having gaps in the sound.. how are you able to follow along with the story plot. Looked like a film I could of thoroughly enjoyed ☹️
You would never get me on that bridge. I would grow wings sooner than you'd get me on a modern made highly engineered bridge like that. I was born with a fear of edges. Cliff-type edges, platform edges. More a visceral fear of going over the edge. Somehow, I was born with it. I think I went over an edge in a former life.
You missed a great movie. I know the cages are offensive, but that was only way they knew back then to fill American zoos or zoos in other country. Zoos help educate people on what typical environments are like for animals and at same time show what life in captivity is like and how to show respect for the animals.
Learn to go past your fears and prejudices. The movie plot takes place in an era where this was common practice. Please don't judge yesterday by today's standards.
Was born in 1953 enjoyed this movie several times Mitchum is a exceptional actor
🤝
I think Susan is too!
I'm 1954, and ch9 and 11(wpix) were my go to channels . They had Everything a kid could wish for 😅!!!! And wnew😊!
1953 also , June. The time when they make films not just something to put together by computer.

Yeah but the gorilla suit was terrible

Roberts was one of Hollywood's greatest actor when he was only half awake. Imagine if he had been fully awake.
This used to come on Sunday mornings and I watched it every time. Then gone. Glad it's here.
Bob Mitchum, my Mum’s pin up. She absolutely loved him!
Me and mine, too.
Who the hell doesn't love Mitchum? Anybody that doesn't should take a long walk on a short pier...
I think he was a pretty decent person too, rare for Hollywood.
This is a great find that I have never seen before. Must make time at home to see it because of it's stellar cast of the lovely, Susan Hayward and Robert Mitchum. The theme too sounds intriguing!

Thanks that’s an interesting bit of info
I wondered what that was and did recognize it from Journey. Very eerie sound. Thanks.

Great movie, anything with ROBERT MITCHUM all ways is
Very good movie and good acting Mitchum is one of my favorite actors always gives his all to a roll that he plays in a movie thamls for posting
1st timer here.
I'm 67.
I'm still catching up
Robert Mitchum was always one of my favorite actors, but the fellow in the gorilla suit... absurd performance by both of them!
I hate it when they don’t give you an outline of the story before the movie begins.
I've held the director's working script to this movie in my hands. This script and many other Henry Hathaway working annotated script's are at The AFI American Film Institute, in the Cecil B DeMille library in Hollywood
What a wonderful connection and memory to this wonderful movie.
Dancing is great . Mitchum and Hayworth and other cast terrific . Must visit Africa . ❤ Thanks . Dave
no, she's Hayward....

I prefer it to that movie.
@@redtobertshateshandles me too😊
I'm no fan of Hepburn.
For some reason I lost sound about 2/3 of the way through, then it came back, then lost sound again.
One of Herrmann’s best scores!
Agreed 👍🎉
Just love the volume going off 1/2 way thru the film , guess we’re going to have to learn how to read lips !!
The movie is so good until audio stopped working 45 minutes into the movie. I tried on my phone & 2 tablet s movie has no sound after 45 minutes. PISSED OFF ❗️💯❗️
FYI volume is messed up (silent) in a couple places around one hour in. ty for the film though!
They need to fix the soundtrack. It kept dropping out, starting about halfway through the movie.
Luv Mitchum Movies
Even when playing a good guy he was a dangerous, scary good guy.
Bummed sound lost in between movie otherwise both Actors brilliant Africa stunning scenes of then times
Great movie and cast except for 3 or 4 audio problems !!!!
Good movie it's too bad some of the dialogue is missing.
Great movie--but there is NO SOUND for part of the movie!!
and i thought it was me. spent 30 min trying to figure out tech, when it was the film all along. Many minutes later after 10 sidetracks I went to comments and you saved me. thanks. good movie from historical perspective.
So, she’s so exhausted that she falls asleep sitting up. He wakes her and a few seconds later tells her she better get some rest. Pure genius!
Same same thing happens in the hospital you sound asleep the nurse comes in to give you sleeping pills. It’s just the way the world works.
It’s the way stupidity works more like.
Good catch but I must admit I quit focusing on this after the guy in a gorilla suit started ripping through a net of 1 inch rope.
@@casanova1925 and of course her makeup is fine!
Enjoyed the film, and at least the producers tried their best to make the African side of the story look authentic, better than the Tarzan films!
The Tarzan movies looked great to me when I was 10 or so years old.
Great movie worth watching........ have not seen it in my 66 years
,,,,,,,,,,,
Great movie, however it would have been better if the sound would not keeping cutting out.
Decent national geographic cuts in this film.
I love this movie and I'm a big Walter Slezak fan.
Sound keeps cutting out
wonderful movie & cast
unfortunately there was audio dropout around the 56 min mark, but still an entertaining joy to watch
Awesome 👍
Thank you!
Oooh! Never heard of this one!
Magnificent Mitchum. ❤
audio goes in and out
What ?
@@KlondikeAspertime , the sound quits and starts up after a few minutes
Copyrighted background music is my guess.

Not entirely free of colonialist snark, mostly from the mouth of Hayward, though the plot twist reveals the reason.
The sound going off was UA-cam blocking something they didn't want everyone to hear.
Moonlanding
Thank you I have not Seen This movie in years Excellent download
Nice old movie - - - they don't make movies like this anymore
The gorilla was played by Mitchum's drinking buddy, Robert Ryan.

Watching on the website and getting no ads at all. Why do you get ads and I don't? Glad I don't.
Very good film, thank you for uploading 🦁
Good entertainment but the sound goes off in a couple of places during the movie, thanks
I enjoy watching thank you so much, that is i stay watching.
there is NO SOUND for part of the movie!!☹
Why does the sound cut out 3 times after the 56th minute? For a couple of minutes each time?
Excellent
great movie if the sound had not kept going out..
Bom filme!
Real good, well worth watching
Please stop now.. please stop the ads now. Why you not stop the ads very bad please stop the ads now
Great movie🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Well done
Inconvenient when the sound goes off at times. Otherwise, a good movie.

oops! meant (Hayward)
The Movie lost sound 3 times for a minute or 2... I wonder if the culture dances and language were close to be real!!!!♥♥♥♥
Shame the sound stops on a couple of occasions at crucial times.
Seemed a good film until 56.35 when the sound disappeared and continued on and off for the rest of the film. Bloody annoying!
I cannot remember any movie Robert Mitchum was in that I saw that he smoked much less smoke a pipe that he could keep lit.
Robert Mitchum film Thunder Road (1958), it's a good one, he smokes. 🚗

What happened to the sound?
sound cuts out at 5600 ?? And further on in the movie . Sad ruins the movie .
Sound seems to go at dramatic moments. I am assuming it is copyrighted and they don't have the rights to.play it.

about 56 minutes the sound went away
My audio keeps cutting out.
Too many audio removed bits.
That gorgeous chin dimple🤩
No sound. I give up.
The sound is messed up
wasnt a bad Movie up until the 55th minute then there was no sound
WR Wesley Richards rifle and ammo 318 bore
Good Movie ❤❤❤❤
The sound keeps dropping out.
No Sound 55:59 to 1.125. And 1:30 to 1.31.54.
Good movie. BTY, where's Tarzan, Jane and Cheetah?
Theme music similar to Johnny Quest theme
56:00 AUDIO drop-out !! 😤
Easy to see why Susan Hayward started out as a Model . I always preferred small redheads, myself .
Lost sound halfway through the movie. Rats!
It returned.
I wonder what the Congo looks like now?
Fun movie -- anticlimactic ending.
Sounc keeps going out.
3:16 Into and seeing wild Animals caged up turned off
You missed a great movie. I know the cages are offensive, but that was only way they knew back then to fill American zoos or zoos in other country. Zoos help educate people on what typical environments are like for animals and at same time show what life in captivity is like and how to show respect for the animals.

Wow
more commercial time than movie time!
It's Jamal!
I watched
Too many and too long of SOUND OFF 😕
Timothy Carey.
It certainly does at in opportune times😂

Horrible lead in music.
Sounds personal
Phont gorilla. Why not phony lions and hyenas too?
