[During my college days I saw a hilarious movie titled "THE GODS MUST BE
CRAZY". It was apparently shot as a 'time pass' by the film crew waiting for the actors to turn up in the grassy African Savannahs for the shooting of a Hollywood movie ['The Eagle has Landed',if I am not mistaken]. It is a silent movie[no 'time pass ' script writer,no translator] involving the local "black" Bantu porters and the "white' film crew. The film is not about Black and whites...and it is in colour.
"The Gods Must Be Crazy" was released in 1980 and is set in the Kalahari desert in Africa.
"The Eagle Has Landed" (Starring Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland and Robert Duvall) was released in 1976 and is set in England.
Miguel is mistaken.
-------
Some trivia from www.imdb.com regarding "The Gods Must Be Crazy"
- Director Jamie Uys searched for three months in the Kalahari, South Africa, to find the perfect Bushman (N!xau), who in real life had no contact with modern civilization to play the role of Xi.
- Xixo's freqent look of bewilderment was genuine, since actor N!xau, an actual bushman, was seeing many of these things for the very first time.
- The sequel 'The Gods Must Be Crazy II" was filmed in 1985 and sat on the shelf for nearly five years before being released in 1989.
