Product Description

Product Description

SYNOPSIS:

Known mostly as an actor of the studio era, Cornel Wilde took on a parallel career as an independent producer, writer, and director to create a series of films that explored man in the midst of extreme dramatic situations and The Naked Prey is perhaps his most personal and violent rumination.

Set in nineteenth-century Africa's colonial periods, Wilde portrays an unnamed safari guide whose group encounters and subsequently insults a local tribe. Following the execution of the other party members, Wilde alone is the last to be spared and is given a head start to elude his pursuers as game to be hunted for retributive satisfaction, unless and until he can attain safety...

The Naked Prey remains a special entry in the cinema of actors-turned-auteurs, which also includes such luminaries as Robert Montgomery, Charles Laughton, and Ida Lupino. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Wilde's most ruthless picture for the first time in the UK in a Dual Format special edition.

SPECIAL FEATURES

  • Gorgeous 1080p presentation of the film on Blu-ray
  • New video interview with film historian Sheldon Hall
  • Original theatrical trailer
  • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
  • Booklet containing a 1970 interview with Cornel Wilde, and the original 1903 basis for the film ''John Colter's Escape''

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Naked Prey Movie & Masters of Cinema Blu ray review
By Mr. E. A. Williamson on 21 Oct. 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Cornel Wilde's 1965 survivalistic adventure epic The Naked Prey makes it's Blu ray debut here in the UK from Eureka as part of their prestigious Masters of Cinema range presented completely uncut and uncensored. Included in the package is a brand new and exclusive interview with film historian Sheldon Hall and as always from Eureka another of their gorgeously produced glossy insert booklets. This edition comes complete as a dual format release with both a Blu ray and DVD included.

Synopsis:
Produced, directed and starring dashing 1950s swashbuckler and occasional leading man turned auteur Cornel Wilde, The Naked Prey is a stark, gruelling and truly compelling chase movie of one man's battle of endurance against the terrain and nature of a foreboding and mysterious land whilst being hunted by an swiftly advancing indigenous African tribe.
Set in the vast, dark, unknown of colonial era Africa, Wilde's unnamed character is known simply as "Man" an ivory safari expedition leader out one last time before his retirement. Funding the hunt is the ruthless capitalist white man Gert van den Bergh who only wants to do things his own way, slaughtering elephants who carry no ivory in the name of sport and proving what kind of a man he is by proposing that he wants to enter into the slave trade once his expedition is over as according to him is an extremely lucrative business. Unfortunately (or some would say fortunately considering what the intentions of the men are) the small group of great white hunters unknowingly cross into the territory of a local tribe.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsCornel Wilde is `Man,' and Man is The Naked Prey
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 25 July 2008
Format: DVD
`A hundred years ago, Africa was a vast, dark unknown. Only a few explorers and missionaries, the ivory hunters and the infamous slave traders risked their lives on its blood-soaked trails. Gleaming tusks were the prize and sweating slaves, sold by their own kings and chiefs in the ceaseless tribal wars or seized by slavers. The lion and the leopard hunted savagely among the huge herds of game. And man, lacking the will to understand other men, became like the beasts, and their way of life was his.'

Cornel Wilde is `Man,' and Man is The Naked Prey. How tough is Cornel Wilde? Not only could he star in a film that sees him chased across a hostile environment by murderous tribesmen but could direct it as well in a primitive location in terrible conditions while seriously ill. While not the world's greatest actor he's the right physical presence for the part: there's something primal enough about him to convince as the kind of man who, when spattered with the blood of an enemy, just rubs it in rather than brushes it off. Indeed, Wilde was even planning to make a sequel decades later while dying of cancer.

Based on John Coulter's escape from Blackfoot tribesmen during the Lewis and Clark expedition and originally intended as a Western before South African tax breaks prompted a change of locale, it's a simple story well told. Wilde is leading an ivory hunting safari that, thanks to callous employer Gert Van Der Berg, falls foul of Ken Gampu's tribesmen, who later attack them and deal out various imaginative tortures and deaths to all except Wilde, who shows no fear. Reasoning that because he looks like a lion, he deserves a lion's death, they give him a chance: stripped naked and completely unarmed, they'll give him a head start before chasing after him and killing him.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsSuperb 1960's anomally!
By DBWM on 28 Oct. 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Finally! Whoops...managed to tender the review here without finishing - doh!
Anyway, I have been on the lookout for this film for longer than I care to remember, and I was delighted when Amazon suggested it might be something I would be interested in.
I vividly recall going to the cinema with my parents to see this film (my Mum was less keen on the film!) in the 1960's, and it was one of the few cinema presentations that actually shocked me as a relatively small person. Without hopefully spoiling the film for anyone, some of the stuff shown must have been on the edge for the censors in this country. So, shocked...but also enthralled was I. Even as a small person I thought the film was terrific - but also rather frightening which as everyone knows small people rather like if it is not too much.
Aside from the James Bond films, The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang etc.. etc.., the fare available in the cinema for my whole family to enjoy was rather limited (my sisters liked primarily really soppy stuff), so The Naked Prey came as a big surprise.
I am no film buff, but I think the film stands up rather well re modern offerings, and the story is simple but also very effective. One cannot help but put oneself in Cornel Wilde's shoes, and muse on what one would do, and how one would perform in similar circumstances.

4.0 out of 5 starsGo Wilde in the Country
By Paul Ess. on 24 April 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
'The Naked Prey' is the story of one man's battle with the wild and the wilderness, with nothing but his wits as a weapon.
Not a very complex plot, but its simplicity is one of its (many) major strengths.
There's few secondary characters; no sub-plots; no asinine, pointless romances; simply a visceral, survival-at-any-cost chase to the death through the jungles and plains of undiscovered Africa.

Directed with some energy by former matinee idol, Cornel Wilde, 'TNP' is a rugged, belligerent story of one man's will against apparently insurmountable odds.

Briefly, it's the tale of a safari leader, who, having seen his expedition ritually slaughtered by a delighted and jubilant bush tribe, is given a chance for freedom. He's stripped and given a head-start before chosen warriors set off in chase with the sole intention of running him through with eye-wateringly nasty spears.
To survive he must become as savage as his pursuers and this is his greatest disadvantage - savagery comes natural to them.

It's not a perfect film and it's main flaw is the presence of Wilde himself both on and off screen: his is a suitably intense performance, not without vital humour, but after a solid first hour or so, his film gives way to typical Hollywood cop-out. He rescues a native child from some splendidly swarthy Arab types slave traders, and then is saved from a river by another child whom he befriends.
The film goes off at a complete tangent here when it should press on to its climax. As Wilde is the only white person with any respect or understanding of the natives, it's hardly a turnabout when one of them helps him. It seems contrived to calm the film down a bit; lessen the impact of some of the brutality we've endured.Read more ›
