Call Me Bwana


Call Me Bwana is a 1963 farce film starring Bob Hope and Anita Ekberg, and directed by Gordon Douglas. Largely set in Africa, it is the only film made by Eon Productions not about the fictional MI6 agent James Bond and was made by most of the same crew as Dr. No.

Hopes costars include Edie Adams and Anita Ekberg playing secret agents. Golfer Arnold Palmer also makes a brief cameo, playing a crazy round of golf with Hopea scene revisited in the film Spies Like Us where Hope makes a cameo appearance and plays golf through a tent. A scene involving an unseen President John F. Kennedy in his famous rocking chair is parodied with his Russian counterpart Nikita Khrushchev rocking in a chair that squeaks loudly.According to Albert R. Broccolis autobiography When the Snow Melts, Eon Productions was originally contracted by United Artists to make two films a year for them one James Bond film and one nonBond film. Many original suggestions were meant to showcase Sean Connery, who turned them all down, as he didnt want his career totally in the hands of Eon. ........
