Sammy Going South (1963) – DVD | Edward G. Robinson | Alexander Mackendrick | Adventure Classic
Ten years old. Alone in Africa. And determined to reach his uncle 6,000 miles away. Directed by the masterful Alexander Mackendrick (The Ladykillers, Sweet Smell of Success), Sammy Going South is a richly photographed and deeply moving 1963 British adventure film in which a young English boy is orphaned during the Suez Crisis and sets off on an extraordinary solo journey across the length of Africa — from Port Said to Durban — to find his only living relative. Along the way he encounters danger, kindness, and the unforgettable company of an old diamond smuggler.
Featuring a warm and memorable performance by the legendary Edward G. Robinson as the grizzled smuggler who befriends young Sammy, this is a rare and beautifully crafted adventure gem. A must-own collectible DVD for fans of Edward G. Robinson, Alexander Mackendrick, and classic British adventure cinema.
