It was also known as Fortune in Diamonds, The Great Adventure and The South African Story. It was one of a series of movies made by the British film industry after World War Two which were set (and filmed) in the dominions.[2] PlotIn 1902 as the Boer War finalises a South African soldier, Pieter Brandt, hides a cache of diamonds he finds on a body. He returns to the town he left three years earlier where his girl, Anne, has married a disgraced English officer, Clive Hunter. Needing funds to get back to pick up the diamonds the Boer enlists the help of his former comrade, Hendrik Von Thaal, as well as Hunter and a bar owner called Dominic. The four men set off to find the diamonds but they end up betraying each other. Cast
ProductionThe film was based on an original story by the novelist and screenwriter Robert Westerby, one of several he wrote for the independent production company Mayflower Pictures. Jack Hawkins was borrowed from British Lion. Director David MacDonald had just made Diamond City (1949) also on location in South Africa. It was made at Pinewood Studios, with some location filming in South Africa beforehand near Johannesburg. Production started in May 1950 and was completed by September.[3][4] The film wasn't released until the following March by General Film Distributors. ReleaseThe film was originally known as The South Africa Story. It had its world premiere aboard the Queen Mary liner.[5] The film was cut by 12 minutes for its U.S. release, and was twice retitled, as Fortune in Diamonds and The Great Adventure.[6] Critical receptionAllmovie noted "an African variation of Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Adventurers is buoyed by an unusually vicious performance by Jack Hawkins" ;[7] while the Radio Times wrote, "this could have been quite stirring if it hadn't been morbidly under-directed at a snail's pace by David MacDonald" ;[6] and TV Guide found that, despite its borrowings from Sierra Madre and from von Stroheim's Greed, "it is nevertheless an often-gripping film."[8]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/65668|title=The Adventurers|work=BFI}} 2. ^Carry On, Cowboy: Roast Beef WesternsHall, Sheldon.
