A Tiger Walks (1964)


Buena Vista Distribution
Directed by Norman Tokar
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Walt Disney)

A tiger in a traveling animal act escapes from its cage while being harassed by its trainer. He escapes to the surrounding countryside and eventually kills the trainer. Local sheriff Brian Keith is tasked with finding him, while his daughter Pamela Franklin argues he should be taken alive. The governor and National Guard show up and things get political. Franklin is interviewed on TV and soon every kid in the country is walking picket lines and chanting "save that tiger" (the old Tiger Rag song). This is Disney, so everything turns out alright. Annoying and predictable.
