I cant think of one that stands up to scrutiny.
All the ones with british stars are colonial nonsense where africans never even get a line. Check out Sanders of th River for example.
In fact you woukd be hard pressed to find any black actors. Afrixa is just a back drop for colonial shenanigan.
Ive just switched off Snows of Kilimanjaro after 15 minutes of dreary action. How can you misuse Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward.
The American take is just as bad. Consider Hatari where the great white hunters catch animals for zoos with Africans reduced to extras.
Its not just an old time thing. Blood Diamond had De Caprio trying to save poor darkies from diamond smugglers.
Sands of the Kalahari was exciting enough but didnt say much about Africa except avoid red arsed monkeys.
Africa has not been well used by the western film industry.
Have I missed a good one.
