old fashion nature film

Filmmaker Armand Denis and his wife Michaela travel to British East Africa for a safari. Only they're not bringing guns. They're bringing cameras to capture the animal for eternity. They do catch a few alive for their zoo friends. That's what passes as progressive back in the day. This is an old fashion nature film. One can really feel the colonialism. The cinematography is solid with some awesome animals. There is a bit of the culture of the villagers as they help them in catching their live specimens and kill a gorilla for a feast. It's the early 50's, so the wifey can be seen but rarely heard from. I'm joking, sort of. This is old fashion in more than one way and that's fine.
