Smile, Darn Ya, Smile!

This earnest, dull hagiography of 19th century missionary-explorer David Livingstone is written by, directed by and stars Marmaduke Arundel as Livingstone and some decent photography of African animals as, well, Africa.

Molly Rogers, as Livingstone's wife, is hilarious. It doesn't matter whether she is being courted in her father's garden, is dying of thirst in the Kalahari or has just given birth: she maintains the blank half-smile of an old lady roused from her cats to give Hallowe'en sweets (or Guy Fawkes pennies) to grubby children. More an ordeal than a movie. You can avoid this one.

Two Africans who appeared in the movie were named in the programme which accompanied its British release in 1925, and were according to the blurb, associated with the real story of Livingstone. Said Bin Abdallah is claimed to have been personal servant to Stanley as a youth, and present at the famous meeting of Stanley & Livingstone. Adam of Kuruman was, as a child, saved by Dr Robert Moffat from slavery.
