edwagreen This was some dull film. The moderator on TCM said that Bob Mitchum agreed to do it so that he could take his family on a Hawaiian vacation. The so called African scenery was shot in Hawaii. Mitchum would have been far better off had he skipped Hawaii that year.The scenes in Africa are dull. The trapping of the so called cat was nothing to talk about. Jack Hawkins plays the guy who asks Mitchum to go on the expedition. He has taken in Elsa Martinelli at the age of 14; she is grown now and he wants to continue to possess her. He tries to show his manliness when he enters the cave where the cat is.I was wondering where the rampage was when the trio leave Africa and head back to the German zoo. Go know that the Hawkins character would go berserk and unleash the cat as the train enters the station. Even the so called rampage on the German streets is minimal at best. The residents of the building where the cat is are told to make loud noises. I think they were told this to wake up the audiences in the theaters viewing this garbage.

bkoganbing Rampage casts Robert Mitchum and Jack Hawkins as a trapper of wild game and a hunter of same respectively. They've been hired by the Berlin Zoo to bag some big cats for exhibition. Both of them see themselves as Hemingway like existential characters, each with a distinct philosophy about the profession they've chosen for themselves. Both have world wide reputations for what they do.Probably it would all have been fine had not Hawkins introduced Mitchum to Elsa Martinelli his mistress who has been such since she was found in a burned out church during World War II as an adolescent. Hawkins did introduce her to the facts of life, but Elsa's been taking care of business on her own for a while, but she always comes back to Hawkins. A fling with Mitchum though has Hawkins going through the Othello thing without an Iago to stoke those green fires.The trio is looking for special game, it is reported that there is an enchantress in the Malay jungle, a mixed breed of a tiger and a leopard. When we see the enchantress it looks like it has the bone structure and shape of a tiger, but the spots of a leopard. The Malay natives regard them as special.I saw Rampage in the theater when it first came out and the jungle scenes are great, but the soap opera plot among the leads is strictly melodramatic. Still I think fans of the leading characters will like it.

brooks-13 This movie is underrated. Robert Mitchum is at his laid-back best as the trapper and Elsa Martinelli is sexy and strong in the female lead. Jack Hawkins is fine, and it's nice to see Sabu in a strong role after The Jungle Book. The musical score (by Elmer Bernstein) is melodic, almost as good as his Magnificent Seven soundtrack. Set this all in verdant Africa with a tiger hunt thrown in, and it makes for good viewing.
