This late masterpiece (1962) by Howard Hawks transcends every literary value in the book to become a brilliantly entertaining and insightful work of pure cinema.

All in all, one of those rare films that genuinely constitutes a 'late masterpiece'.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Fresh
Perhaps the accent on the trapping of free-roaming critters for use in zoos is a mite too heavy, but this aspect of African business rates the attention it receives here.
A.H. Weiler, New York Times
Rotten
The strapping physique of the film unhappily emphasizes the anemic condition of the story streaming within.
Variety
Fresh
A broader canvas for the interaction of comedy and drama than its immediate predecessor (Rio Bravo), this is both discursive and leisurely.
