Call Me Bwana

Call Me Bwana is a 1963 farce starring Bob Hope. It is largely set in Africa. It is probably best-known for being the only film made by EON Productions which is not about the Ian Fleming spy character, James Bond. Hope's co-stars include Anita Ekberg and Edie Adams. Bob Hope plays a New York writer who has passed off his uncle's memoirs of explorations in Africa as his own and is then hired by NASA to locate a missing secret space probe before it can be located by hostile forces. Golfer Arnold Palmer makes a brief cameo, playing a crazy round of golf with Hope—a scene revisited in Spies Like Us where Hope makes a cameo appearance and plays golf through a tent.
