White Cargo

In Africa early in World War II, a British rubber plantation executive reminisces about his arrival in the Congo in 1910. He tells the story of a love-hate triangle involving Harry Witzel, an in-country station superintendent who'd seen it all, Langford, a new manager sent from England for a four-year stint, and Tondelayo, a siren of great beauty who desires silk and baubles. Witzel is gruff and seasoned, certain that Langford won't be able to cut it. Langford responds with determination and anger, attracted to Tondelayo because of her beauty, her wiles, and to get at Witzel. Manipulation, jealousy, revenge, and responsibility play out as alliances within the triangle shift.

This film is awesome, it has lots of great gorilla shots. A good one for BEAU fans as well.So many wonderful Silverbacks.I love Bissus.I gave it ten out of ten or Ten Bannans out of ten Bannans Me Billy Bissu. The greatest thing about this film (apart from Bridges of course) is the chimp action. Everyone who loves monkeys should see this film. If you are too poor to get to a zoo or do not live in a monkey inhabited area then see this film. I know most people see monkeys all the time, but this film will show you them in a different light. ALthough I say Bridges is the best part of this film, this is a small lie because ZAMBA is. ME ZAMBA.Lawal.Lawal.Yobo. What a Defender Yobo is!
