The plot line of “Hatari!” describes the occupation of the men at Hatari as men hired to capture exotic animals for zoos, a notion which is considered politically incorrect and which for years kept this film off the air waves. However, there are some deft touches of humor here such as the efforts involved in recapturing stubborn ostriches who have broken loose from their pen. A country fiddle (possibly having something to do with Kentucky Fried Chicken?), a blues inflected alto sax and mocking piccolos turn this into a hilarious moment in the film.

What fun music. I should have strolled on over here when I lost my good humor yesterday.
