Where No Vultures Fly

Where No Vultures Fly is a 1951 British adventure film directed by Harry Watt and starring Anthony Steel and Dinah Sheridan.

The story follows the early days of game warden Bob Payton (Anthony Steel) in his establishment of a 1000 square mile wildlife reserve.

He is attacked by wild animals and must contend with a villainous ivory poacher (Harold Warrender).

Where No Vultures Fly was one of a series of "expeditionary films" Harry Watt made, like The Overlanders, where he would find the story from visiting a location.

According to Leslie Norman "the script was turned down generally, so I went in and added a bit which made them accept it.

[12] The film was selected for the 1951 Royal Command Performance, over other contenders such as A Place in the Sun and Outcast of the Islands, becoming the last one during the reign of George VI.

[15] According to Filmink "this played more to his strengths" than Watt's previous movie Eureka Stockade with "location filming, based on a true story, simple concept."
