Nor the Moon by Night is a 1958 British drama film directed by Ken Annakin and starring Belinda Lee, Michael Craig and Patrick McGoohan. It was written by Guy Elmes based on the 1957 novel of the same title by Joy Packer and partly filmed in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. The title is a quote from the Old Testament passage (Psalm 121:6), "The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night." The film was released in the United States as Elephant Gun.
