KILLERS OF KILIMANJARO is very much a typical African adventure chock full of cliched characters and situations and stock footage of local wildlife. It also happens to be saddled with American star Robert Taylor, who I always find to be a lacklustre and uninteresting kind of performer. Here he dons a pith helmet to trek off and help build a railway, encountering the usual problems with foreign locales: treacherous natives and deadly wildlife to name but two. The supporting cast raises the interest a little, with an amusing Anthony Newley as the second lead and smaller parts for the likes of Martin Benson and Donald Pleasence, but it's all rather tawdry.
