Bring 'Em Back Alive
(1932)

Director: Clyde E. Elliott
Writers: Frank Buck, Edward Anthony
Narrated by and Starring: Frank Buck

Celebrated hunter and animal collector Frank Buck narrates and stars in this documentary-type expedition film. Buck first received world-wide fame for his book of the same name which shared his tales of jungle adventure and live animal captures. This film follows Buck's expedition into the jungles of Malayan where he and his native helpers work to capture many rare animals to share with zoo's around the world. Absolutely a product of the times, be prepared to witness several animal fights along the way, brutal and staged scenes that are not for the faint of heart. 63 minutes

*Quality Note: This was recovered from a print that was decayed and shrinking producing a warble in the film’s music track. There is no problem at all in understanding Frank Buck’s narration.
