the only reason i watch this film be because i have recently read robert hough less than perfect and but interesting and fictionalised account of the life of big cat trainer mabel stark . beaty appear a a character in the book and in a less than flatter light . i hadn not realise until check the movie out later on the imdb that it be originally a serial . whoever edit the original running time of 233 minute down to the 68 minuted version available on dvd have do a hell of a good job . the shortened version play just as well a any b movie of the period despite the many woulduh what . moment . for instance be we really expect to believe our hero dug that twenty foot deep tiger trap in a morning without even get his jodhpur dirty . look over the chapter title i see that number five be title gorilla warfare and number eleven be call the gorilla . there be no gorilla at all in the movie . i guess that where some of the cut be make . historicaly interesting .
