Van der Post had set out to complete a film about the Kalahari and to fulfill the life-long dream of re-kindling a childhood fascination with the Bushmen. As for the former goal, the book is full of references to cinematic failures, and there is no mention of the outcome. (Apparently there was later a BBC series on the subject.) And der Post was clearly successful with the latter goal. A solid 3.76 stars, I'll round up.
I listened the old ISIS audio recording with John Nettleton, narrator. He had a wonderful voice, reminiscent of the "Fractured Fairy Tales" narrator, Edward Everett Horton. ( )
