Lockruf der Wildnis

Lure of the Wilderness is a 1952 romantic adventure film directed by Jean Negulesco. The film, which was shot in Technicolor, is based on the 1941 novel Swamp Water by Vereen Bell,[2] and is a remake of the Jean Renoir's 1941 adaption of the novel featuring Walter Brennan in a smaller version of his leading role in the earlier film.

Although some shots are added of wildlife, in documentary style, the film has a very optimistic view of the range of local species: black panthers; water buffalo; crocodile (instead of alligator) and river otter. Moreover, whilst perhaps seen as a "love of wildlife" film at the time the main heroes do kill most of the wildlife so it would not be politically correct to modern eyes.
