Way back around 1968, ZULU was shown on TV. A few months later, I believe it was Rex Reed who wrote a book on “All the movies shown on TV, 1968”.
In his criticism of ZULU he moaned and groaned about how such a “racist” movie could be shown in those bad times of 1967-1968 with all the riots going on.
If you want to know more about what led up to what happened in ZULU, I suggest the book THE WASHING OF THE SPEARS by Morris.
I am surprised no one has gone after another good movie, Cornel Wilde’s THE NAKED PREY.
It’s based on an American frontier incident involving Hugh Glass. Which was done recently by Leonardo “What’s-His-Face” in “The Revenant “.(I think I have the name of the movie right!) First time it was done was I think wa as a “Wagon Train” episode.
“I am surprised no one has gone after another good movie, Cornel Wilde’s THE NAKED PREY.”
That was a powerful movie. I saw it at the theater when it was first released in 1965/1966.
It is basically the story of John Colter moved from the American frontier to Africa.
