The Lord of the Witchdoctors (SUSP)

The Germans are constantly conniving to wrest control of Zanzibar from its British "protectorate," and now it seems a new witchdoctor is riling up the local tribes against the British too. Is there a connection?

A fairly poor treatment of an interesting setting.

    "A fairly poor treatment of an interesting setting."
    You said it. The characterization of the natives is downright embarrassing.

    I didn't realize that Bernard Herrmann was involved - an impressive credential.
