Stanley and Livingstone (1939)

08/18/1939 (US) • 1h 41m

Adventure, History

He succeeded in the maddest quest in History...because one girl believed in him!

Overview

When American newspaperman and adventurer Henry M. Stanley comes back from the western Indian wars, his editor James Gordon Bennett sends him to Africa to find Dr. David Livingstone, the missing Scottish missionary. Stanley finds Livingstone ("Dr. Livingstone, I presume.") blissfully doling out medicine and religion to the happy natives. His story is at first disbelieved.
