Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases of Howard Hawks'
Hatari! (1962), starring John Wayne, Hardy Krüger, Elsa Martinelli, Red Buttons, and Gérard Blain. The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on December 10.
Description: A Tanganyka-based group of hunters (Red Buttons, Hardy Kruger, Gérard Blain) led by Sean Mercer (John Wayne) trap wild African animals for zoos. A curvaceous reporter (Elsa Martinelli) documents their exploits while having epic clashes with the gruff Irishman. She is initially frozen out of the testosterone-filled group until her strong-willed personality endears her to the men.
