In every sense, "Baboons" is extraordinary.
Surpassing anything that has gone before it, this aerial epic over Africa stands forth ás, a master- plece. If any motion picture re- leased within the past five years warrants "road-showing," or a $2 box-office scale, "Baboona" does so.. Yet Fox, has released it direct to regular motion picture theatres.
