This isn't among Spencer Tracy's more well-known films, but it is still a very competently produced bio-pic about the search by the newspaper reported for the famous lost missionary, Dr. Livingston. While this is a true story, of course Hollywood of that era did rearrange the facts a wee tad in order to make the film more dramatic and entertaining. Considering that the movie is only about a search through Africa for the lost guy and you KNOW he's gonna find him alive in the end, it is amazing how involving the film becomes. A good job and well worth your time, though not among the greatest films of the era. Oh, and I throw in a bonus point to bring my score up to 7 because it features Cedrick Hardwick as Livingston.
