Directed by Howard Hawks, it was shot in Technicolor and filmed on location in northern Tanganyika (in what is now Tanzania).
Hatari! exemplifies Hawks' credo of making use of his actors' talents and capacities by making them really get in the mix with the animals, and other moments that depend on unfakeable displays of skill, such as Martinelli playing piano, or her rapport with the baby elephants, or Buttons' delightful display of dancing.

After the accident with Elsa's powers, their parents were probably keen to keep an eye on Anna, which they wouldn't be able to do with such a rambunctious child running freely around the kingdom.

Although the sequel reveals how Elsa got her powers and offers insight into the mysterious death of her parents, Elsa does not get a girlfriend in the film.
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'.
