Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFor his scenes with the lion, Patrick McGoohan had to walk with a piece of liver strapped to his ankle to attract the animal's interest.
- Alternate versionsThe British version, titled "Nor the Moon by Night," includes three scenes that were cut from the American version, called "Elephant Gun."-- (1) An early scene in which Alice (Belinda Lee) is first seen in her English home, as she tends to her dying mother. (2) The next scene, where Alice gets into a row with her half-sister, Harriet (Joan Brickhill), over Alice's divided allegiance to the care of her mother and her anxious anticipation of a new life in Africa with her pen-pal, Andrew (Patrick MacGoohan), who she has not yet encountered face to face. (3) Later in the film, this scene takes place in Camp #2 (Rusty's residence) in Africa -- Alice is summoned to the wireless, where she is informed by police authorities that she is wanted for questioning in the death of her mother.
Featured review
Good fun but with dark undertones - how about a remake?
Caught this by accident on the TV and, despite having no previous knowledge of it and not being committed to watching it, I was drawn into it and found it very enjoyable. Patrick McGoohan is great as the lead as are the rest of the cast. The background of a game reserve is well presented and the story rattles along nicely and has enough twists to keep your interest. The film is also a treat for Land Rover lovers as they are featured extensively. This is one film that I think might warrant a remake as it has a lot of dark themes that it would be easier to explore today. We must be long overdue for a revival of jungle films that aren't self-consciously camp.
