Not a lot of dialog in this one but it doesn't need it. Cornel Wilde is the manager of a charter safari to bag Elephants and encounters a group of local semi-friendly tribesmen who want a gift for their chief. Wilde says yes but his employer says no. The tribesmen a short while later cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war on the safari. Wilde is the sole survivor after the rampage and executions and because of his earlier good intentions to give a gift is allowed a head start into the jungle. After he reaches a designated point the chase is on. Superb character study of a man who must use all of his knowledge and resources to not only survive but evade.

Born in New York in October 1915 to Hungarian immigrants, handsome Cornel Wilde gave up the chance to be an Olympic athlete when he chose acting over fencing in the 1930s. His fencing expertise would later come in handy when starting his acting career. As a college student Wilde studied medicine but abandoned the field when his interest in acting took over. Not long afterward, he married actress Patricia Knight, in 1937. Wilde toiled in the legitimate theatre for a few years and then went to Hollywood, where he soon was put under contract to Warner Bros. The studio gave Wilde smaller parts in several films but dropped his option in 1941.

The youngest son of famed actor Cornel Wilde, the artist studied traditional arts (drawing, watercolor, oils) through high school and college, as well as writing and film. After his parents’ deaths, Mr. Wilde took a hiatus from art, spending time pursuing script writing and some work as a rewriter. In the end, he found both to be unsatisfying. After moving from Los Angeles to Atlanta, he started to work in the arts again. While taking a course in printmaking, he learned of a weekend class in Polaroid transfer. Intrigued by the idea of being able to manipulate a photograph into a printed image with the effect of a watercolor, he had found his medium.

Dashing actor of Czech-Hungarian heritage, Cornel Wilde was born in Hungary and spent much of his youth in Europe, developing a continental flair as well as an affinity for languages. He received a scholarship for medical school, but turned it down in favor of his new love, the theater. A natural athlete and a champion fencer with the U.S. Olympic fencing team, he quit the team just prior to the 1936 Berlin Olympics in order to take a role in the theatre. He appeared in the Broadway hit "Having a Wonderful Time", but it was not until he was hired in the dual capacities of fencing choreographer and actor (Tybalt) in Laurence Olivier's 1940 Broadway production of Romeo and Juliet that Hollywood spotted him. He played a few minor roles before leaping to fame and an Oscar nomination as Frederic Chopin in A Song to Remember (1945). He spent the balance of the 1940s in romantic, and often swashbuckling, leading roles.
