"King Solomon's Mines" (1950)

At the beginning of this movie I was skeptical--it seemed to me to be a "What can we do to get to fill lots of cool African animals and native cultures while throwing in a not so impressive storyline" movie; but the storyline grew on me. That made the "cool scenery shots" okay, because they went with the story. So, Color movie of African animals and a few African tribes. Storyline is fine. I don't recall any Western music underlining anything--I think it was all native sounds and native songs. Not bad. And if you want to watch just for the animals and scenery, then it's worth it.
