well friends, it was slightly tragic that my flying horse movie had no takers. I have no choice but to move onto another movie memory.

A B/W movie with a family (handsome father, pretty mother, 2 cute kids) coming to Africa where the man is newly posted as (a ranger, maybe) and is welcomed by his loud, short buddy-colleague who is very excited on this arrival. Sadly the latter was squashed by a rogue elephant, and the movie actually showed his squashed body, how gallant film-making!

In the climax the family’s home was invaded by wild cats and the lives of the young ones were threatened, but the parents manage to shoot their invaders in time. The mother had always wanted to leave Africa, but in the end, yields to the plea of the children and her husband to remain in Jungle Horror land.
