Hatari! Overview:
Hatari! (1962) was a Action - Adventure Film directed by Howard Hawks and produced by Howard Hawks.
SYNOPSIS
Wayne leads the way in an exciting action adventure about big-game hunters in Africa. The wildlife photography is top-notch and there's just enough of a story to bridge the action sequences. Interesting to watch how the hunters safely capture their prey for sale to zoos.

Much of the action sequence audio had to be re-dubbed due to John Wayne's cursing while wrestling with the animals.
Red Buttons, a liberal Democrat, later said that he greatly regretted his "gross misapprehension" line.
Hatari means "danger" in Swahili.
Howard Hawks:
He appears in at least two scenes in the movie: The first appearance is in the back of the truck when they are chasing the Rhino toward the end of the movie. He is standing on the right wearing a hat and mostly looking down/back. The second appearance is when they are standing listening to Pockets read the letter from Dallas. He walks through the hall behind the scene.
According to director Howard Hawks, all the animal captures in the picture were performed by the actual actors; no stuntmen or animal handlers were substituted onscreen. The rhino really did escape, and the actors really did have to recapture it - and Hawks included the sequence for its realism.
