...Africans; Connecticut is for people who can afford it. That's the moral of this movie, and it doesn't make much sense. But then the movie wasn't meant to make sense; it was meant to make money. It has one major star (William Holden), one good actor (Trevor Howard), one competent director (Jack Cardiff, who did Sons and Lovers), infinitudes of the usual fauna and some spectacular shots of Mount Kenya. It also has a portly, natty, sophisticated Hollywood lion named Zamba, who looks as though he came from F.A.O. Schwarz and waddles like...
...Unbudgeable. There are two famous Williams in the revised history of Switzerland: William Tell and William Holden. Sometimes Holden is away looking after his hotel in Kenya, but more often he is back in the old canton, cruising around Lake Geneva in his $30,000 yacht or resting in his 15-room lake villa.

Portugal's victory over the rebels was greatly aided by the bitter hostility between Holden Roberto's U.P.A. (Union of the Angolan Peoples) and the Communist-backed M.P.L.A. (Movement for the Liberation of Angola) led by Mario de Andrade, a Sorbonne-educated, Red-lining mulatto. The rival groups often seemed to hate each other worse than they hated the Portuguese; both Roberto and Andrade were the targets of assassination attempts by the other faction. Should the two organizations ever reach...
