Nor apparently has it been seen in America at least for some time.This is a tale of survival, but the characters sure don’t come out of Swiss Family Robinson. A small plane crashes in the Kalahari desert in South Africa. One woman, Susannah York, and five men. Only one of them Stuart Whitman who is a big game hunter is really trained for the business of survival. The others are products of the ease and comfort of civilization. One of them, Stanley Baker, is badly injured and needs constant nursing by York.Sands of the Kalahari   There’s a colony of baboons nearby and Whitman starts identifying with them in every sense of the world. He turns on the others, eliminating them one by one except York who he decides will be his savage Eve to his savage Adam.The injured Baker gradually heals and in the end proves to be the savior for York. I’m not going to say any more, but hopefully TCM or AMC will run this film at some point for American audiences.Sands of the Kalahari   Susannah York is beautiful and talented and goes through a gamut of emotions regarding Whitman and their predicament. Stanley Baker is a favorite of mine among British players, he never gave a bad performance in any film I ever saw him in. But the real treat is Whitman. His devolution of character out in that\u003cspan\u003e desert \u003c\/span\u003ewas Oscar caliber material and why he wasn’t nominated in 1965 is a mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of my favorite all-time movies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat a great flick. It’s hard to believe that it never received the recognition it fully deserved. Acting is first-rate, the scenery magnificent and the plot hooked you in immediately. The ULTIMATE survival movie!\u003cbr\u003eStuart Whitman played his role as ultimate survivor to the hilt in probably the most effective role ever in his career.\u003cbr\u003eI would hope that some day Paramount comes to it’s senses and releases this on DVD. All fans of this movie should in fact demand no less- let’s start lobbying Paramount. Until then, it is an all too rarely seen item on cable movie channels like A\u0026amp;E or AMC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FilmClassicsonDVD","offers":[{"title":"DOWNLOAD","offer_id":51485266575647,"sku":"sakal-2","price":10.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DVD","offer_id":51485266608415,"sku":"sakal-1","price":12.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/0788\/5087\/files\/Sands-of-the-Kalahari-rareandcollectibledvds-92.jpg?v=1766568897","url":"https:\/\/filmclassicsondvd.com\/products\/sands-of-the-kalahari","provider":"FilmClassicsonDVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
