Title: CORNEL WILDE, OPUS 5
Product review: ***** 1966. Produced and directed by Cornel Wilde. Academy award nomination in the Best original Screenplay category. Africa in the 1860's. A safari guide is the last survivor of the expedition he organized. He must now run through the savanna, pursued by the best warriors of a bloodthirsty tribe. If I thought a lot about Samuel Fuller's RUN OF THE ARROW during the first 20 minutes of THE NAKED PREY, I must admit that I didn't have the time to think about anything but the movie afterwards, I was literally scotch taped to my sofa ! With only a few lines of dialogues, tom-toms, the environment of the animals and some local dialects, Cornel Wilde delivered a film that should stay in the annals of the adventure movies genre. Masterpiece.
