The announcement of Mel Gibson is obliged to make everything out of this extraordinary film after 60 years ago, unfortunately it will be invisible for decades

In fiction, Manhunt is not a brutal principle, far from it, a new topic. Pioneer in this issue, produced in 1932, Tandem Ernest B. By Shotsak and Irving Pischelle, the cult film The Count Zaroff has already identified man as a subtle as a sadist, a lover of loser passion for hunting. In the usual hunting las, the latter is looking for a new cold, transforming the ship’s shipping on its island that lost in the game.

At the expense of prey at the expense of the tenth victim or without a masterpiece, only to name these very small examples, this theme was always a very fertile soil for filmmakers. This is not Mel Gibson, who will say the opposite, signing a sensational film in 2006, an apocalypto, in the jungle in the jungle, which the captives performed a large -scale human sacrifice.

Safari that turns into a nightmare

In inspiration sources for this film, Gibson was more fed with a clean masterpiece issued in 1966. Very rare work, in any case, with us, which has become invisible for decades and has never had a DVD publication and even less Blu-ray: naked prey in Cornell Wilde.

From Hungarian origin, he was a typical actor of fifty Hollywood studios – fifty, highly appreciated by them. He starred in several important films, including Mortel Péché in 1945; Jenny, marked by a woman with Douglas; Or classics under the largest brand in the world in 1952.

But Cornell Wilde was also one of the rare – an example of actors who became manufacturers and directors, forming all the hats at the same time. In 1950, she became the second actress after Burt Lancaster, who created her own manufacturing company. This polyglot (he spoke freely in six languages) decided to make films focused on anti -figures, far from the Hollywood Manican cannon.

In all works of his company, except for one, he shared a poster with his wife, actor Jean Wallace. The only film they haven’t shot together is the one we are talking about, naked prey.

Initially, the film has to be told about the authentic history John Colter, Treper, who participates in the famous expedition in Louis and Clark Which, in 1809, survived the brunette with Indians in Wyoming in a distant desert, in the wilderness.

When Cornell Wilde learned that funding for his film was available in South Africa, he charged screenwriters with Clint Johnston and Don Peter’s rewriting history to be placed in the 19th century in Zulu. Both will sleep on the script … barely nine pages.

The story is now a Safari textbook (intended by Wilde), given that after his retirement expedition, in which he is guided by a group of hunters who want trophies, especially elephants. But it is a nightmare when the hunters’ head (Gert van den Berg) refuses to symbolize the right to move to the land required by the local tribe.

The expedition camp was attacked and its members were captured. In turn, they all torture and perform. The last surviving, Cornell Wilde, then begins to disarm and disarm, through landscapes, as grand as it is erections that are ruthless. And persecuted the tribal warriors with a real manhunt. Because, unlike his comrades, Tommy gives him a chance to get rid of him, he has confirmed that he is equal to his warriors. Since then, he becomes a prey now that he has been watching once …

Botswana, Zimbabwe (at the time called southern Rhodesia), as well as in the reserves of South Africa Ziba and Kruger Park, which includes very small dialogues (the tribe’s dialect is not subtitled), unfortunately released in 196.

A masterpiece that has become invisible

Since then, the weather has fortunately done his work, which he has built this film for classical rank. In 2014, the British Cinema Institute also made Cornell Wilde’s film Ever done in the ten largest prosecutor’s office films. It was published in the UK in a very beautiful Blu-ray publication by Eureka Entertainment, as well as across the Atlantic, by the editor’s criterion.

What about France? A thousand times, this is not surprising yet in the planning of the editor, who would be quite a charity for editing it. Even naked like worm, we would be a simple publication of this work that has been invisible to us for a long time. Judging by the notes of the notes on its file (barely 70 …), that is, if there are many evangelicals around the naked predator.
