I have seen Odongo a couple of times ... not a bad film. The lad who plays Odongo was pretty good IIRC.

I always though he was English since seeing him in Babe,but reading his history in IMDB,I found that he played one of Archie Bunker's friends in All in The Family.
A great actor by all means,but I found his accent a bit curious in the excellent LA Confidential - he kept saying "Boyo",which I have always deemed as being a Welsh expression.
Also,I thought he played the US President in Clear and Present Danger,(it was Donald Moffat),but did turn up as the Commander In Chief in The Sum Of All Fears.

'Odongo!' Wow, I must get a copy! LOL! I do have 'Slightly Scarlet' on DVD with Rhonda and Arlene Dahl as sisters. John Payne and Ted De Corsia are the other stars.

There are quite a few Rhonda films on ebayUSA but Odongo doesn't appear to be amongst them.

Rhonda was a good singer but didn't get to sing very often.
