Ladies calm down! He's an ageing expat who steals animals...


What was the deal over Gable's character?? he wasn't really all that attractive, he was well past his best and he made a living out of capturing baby animals from the wild and selling them to Zoos. Not really an admirable profession if there ever was one, but these ladies go CRAZY over him.

now personally i would much rather have had the anthropologist dude. He was much more attractive and had much better prospects despite his unbearable naivety...!

and lastly WHAT was with all the frightfully over-dramatic crying scenes? do people really cry like that?

Ava Gardiner's blonde/witty remarks really made the film though "hey, a kangaroo" what a line!

I wish I could think of something witty to put here... but I can't.
