“This film (BORNEO) was the Johnsons' "Last Adventure" together as Martin was killed in a commercial plane crash in Burbank, California as he and Osa were enroute to Hollywood to provide narration and final edits on this film...As Osa was seriously injured in this same crash, famous journalist and life-long Johnson friend Lowell Thomas provides the films overall narration. ...Famous shots from Borneo include the first ever aerial pictures of the top of Borneo's highest peak, Mt. Kinabalu, Martin and Osa's gobong canoe safari on the Kinabatangan river which lead them into the remotest regions of the Bornean rain forests, and some of the most amazing animals---orangutans, flying snakes, walking fish, and the first ever images of the rare Proboscis monkey---they ever photographed in their 27 years of wildlife filmmaking.” (excerpt from The Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum) |
