Description
A vintage reprint of the movie poster for ''Trader Horn'', a 1931 American adventure film directed by W.S. Van Dyke. It is notable for being one of the earliest sound films shot on location in Africa. The movie is based on the 1927 memoir of the same name by Alfred Aloysius Horn, an adventurer and ivory trader in Africa.
The film follows the adventures of Trader Horn (played by Harry Carey) and his loyal African companion Renchero (played by Duncan Renaldo) as they navigate the African jungle in search of ivory. Along the way, they encounter various dangers and obstacles, including wild animals, hostile tribes, and treacherous terrain.
"Trader Horn" was praised for its stunning cinematography, as it was one of the first Hollywood films to be shot on location in Africa. The movie's use of native African extras and authentic African settings added to its realism and sense of adventure.
However, it's important to note that the film has also faced criticism for its portrayal of African characters and cultures, which reflects the racial stereotypes prevalent during the time it was made. These portrayals have been considered offensive and racially insensitive by modern standards.
Despite its historical significance and pioneering cinematography, "Trader Horn" remains a controversial film due to its depiction of African people and cultures, but it is still studied and discussed for its place in the history of cinema.
