The film ends with Kru using his elephant to rebuild his house. Produced for $60,000, CHANG was enormously successful and influenced such later films such as BRING ‘EM BACK ALIVE, TARZAN OF THE APES, and KING KONG. It is now available on DVD and can be requested through NETFLIX. |

In his autobiography ALL IN A LIFETIME, Frank Buck mentions that he met Cooper and Schoedsack in Singapore and suggested locations where they could find wild elephants. The commercial success of CHANG convinced Buck that a movie version of his book BRING ‘EM BACK ALIVE would also be a money-maker, which proved to be the case.
Eric - Thanks again for sharing your love and knowledge of circus and vintage film. ~frank
Buckles makes it all possible by finding space on his blog to post things like this when I submit them.
