Trader Horn is a 1973 Metrocolor film directed by Reza Badiyi and starring Rod Taylor as the African adventurer Alfred Aloysius Horn. It is a remake of the 1931 film, also released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Neither picture is faithful to the original memoirs of Horn, who was 53 when World War I began.

Production

The movie was originally announced as a big budget production for MGM-EMI.

The film was primarily shot on the backlot at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios in Culver City, California. The script, set during the First World War, ignores the plot of the largely fictitious 1931 film about the discovery of a white jungle queen. The new story is written to use colourised footage from the MGM films King Solomon's Mines (1950), and Mogambo (1953).

Rod Taylor felt, with the end of the Vietnam War, the time was right for old-fashioned hero movies to make a comeback.

The anti-hero image was stretched as far as it could go. I think people now want to see a good guy win out over the bad guys through intelligence, courage and strength – the traditional makeup of hero types.

Rod Taylor performed his own stunt riding on a zebra in the picture, actually taming the animal in the process.
