Today marks the 63rd Anniversary of the release of Hatari! (1962). 🐆🎬 One evening, while taking a break from filming, Red Buttons and John Wayne were playing cards outside when a leopard emerged from the bush. When Buttons mentioned the approaching leopard, Duke calmly said, "See what he wants." Did you know? Composer Henry Mancini wrote a brief piece of incidental music for a scene where a baby elephant is taken for a walk. That simple tune became the international hit "Baby Elephant Walk" and has been recorded by many artists in various styles! 🐘🎶 John Wayne’s personal gold handle mug from the film is on display at the John Wayne: An American Experience Museum in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, Texas.
