Former British Army Colonel Harry Black comes to the rescue of an Indian village terrorized by a ferocious Bengal tiger. During the hunt, Black comes across the wife, Chris, of Desmond Tanner, who already knew Black from a German prisoner-of-war camp in World War II, where his cowardice during an escape cost Black his leg. Tanner now manages a tea plantation and wants to accompany Black on the hunt to impress his young son, Michael. Black still loves Chris, with whom he had a brief affair when visiting her to tell her about her husband's imprisonment, and Tanner senses this. Although neither man openly admits it, they compete for Chris' love. During the hunt, Tanner again shows himself a coward.

Best Tiger behavior depicted in movies
This is one of my favorite movies because it has the most realistic tiger behavior ever depicted in films. Man-eating tigers still exist in Asia--although now much rarer than they were--and it amazes me how well the director was able to show us how a man eating tiger would really have behaved. I worked with tigers and elephants for 25 years in a zoo (and I wholeheartedly approve of zoos now gradually ending the keeping of these animals in captivity)so I can tell you that this film gives you a uniquely realistic view of a man-eating tiger's behavior. The scene where the line of elephants are being ridden to drive the tiger towards the hunters is nice--when you see those elephants' trunks come up into the air they really are smelling their arch enemy a tiger, and they don't know it is a tame movie tiger so that is absolutely real, too. If you want to read about man-eating tigers, get books by Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson--they make fascinating reading. If you want to see similar superb depiction of a rogue elephant's real life behavior on film, get a copy of Jungle Princess, starring Dorothy Lamour (1936).
