Though most Ghanaians praise Ankrah, many of them are chafing for a return to party politics and parliamentary rule, a particularly natural wish in a country that is rich in vocal professionals.

Structurally, the film closely parallels The Iliad. Hawks' glorious and affirmative art redeems 20th century man from an emasculating and increasingly ugly world...
