A Harold Robbins presentation with a score by Quincy Jones? We want a copy! Rated PG by the MPAA in 1972, we know nothing more about YAO OF THE JUNGLE than what's revealed in the grainy newspaper ad above (from Long Beach, CA in 1972).
It looks like you won the stuffed bear, Marc! YAO (1969) was written & directed by Claude Vermorel and stars François Boguy as Yao. We'll update the entry later today.
I've determined that this is a dubbed, feature-length condensation of a French/Ivory Coast-produced miniseries called "YAO" from 1969.
ReplyDeleteI know of one print in private hands.

I remember running through woods with a bow and arrow shouting “YAO……!!” when I was about 5 years old having watched the tv series.
