January releases in the NY Times
In The New York Times, Dave Kehr spotlights two January releases: The Naked Prey and Postwar Kurosawa (Eclipse), which brings together five "intriguing films from the least familiar but most prolific period of Akira Kurosawa's long and varied career." Kehr praises Cornel Wilde's The Naked Prey for avoiding "the sentimental pictorialism that overwhelms so many movies shot on the African continent...The Naked Prey is a singular achievement that makes you wish Mr. Wilde had caught the directing bug much earlier."
