i be not go to criticize the movie . there isn not that much to talk about . it have good animal action scene which be probably pretty astonish at the time . clyde beatty isn not exactly a matinée idol . he a little slight and not particularly good look . but that ok. he the man in that lion cage . we know that when he can not take the time away from his lion to tend to his girlfriend and he will end up on an island with her and have to save the day . someone say earlier that it be a history lesson . the scene at the circus be of another day and especially the kid who hang around . i do not realize that even back in the thirty and they sail on three masted schooner . it look like something out of 1860. i guess that the stock footage they have . no wonder the thing get wreck . theyre always talk about fix her up . there even a dirigible . it tell u a little about male female relationship at the time and a kind of giggly silliness . but if you do not take it too seriously and you can have fun watch it .
