Zebra in the Kitchen (1965)


MGM
Directed by Ivan Tors
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Warner Bros.)

Jay North keeps a mountain lion as a pet near his country home. When his parents decide to move to the city, he sneaks the lion on the moving truck. It works for awhile, but soon the lion is discovered. Rather than be shot, he agrees to let it live in a zoo. He works there so he can be near his pet. However, the deplorable state of the zoo leads him to release all of the animals, who run rampant through nearby neighborhoods. Somehow, they all get caught and returned safely. His actions, though well intended, are nearly disastrous for all involved. Poorly thought out story will leave animal lovers on edge. Jay North is irritating, to say the least, while Andy Devine as a zookeeper is terrifying.
