The Lion Hunters (1951)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Ford Beebe
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Lion hunters are poaching in the jungle and Bomba comes to their aid. He befriends the daughter of one of the hunters and teachers her that lions prefer freedom to cages. He turns the tables and puts one of the hunters in a cage and the animals literally laugh at him. The message may be one of respect and responsibility towards animals, but the delivery is anything but believable.
