The Naked Prey.

Probably 8 lines of dialog in the whole thing, and they're all done within the first 5 minutes. Cornell Wilde wrote, directed and starred. It's a true story, based on Colter's Run, which happened in America, not Africa.

The best way to enhance your writing is to take your talkiest scene and rewrite it entirely without dialog. You'll find a way. It's a useful exercise.
