Quite disappointing.
I enjoyed the opening credit graphics sequence but then, unfortunately, the film seemed to deteriorate from the beginning.
The film does boast a lot of interesting 'names' in both the cast and the production, including the gorgeous Fenella Fielding and the very sweet Janette Scott. However, their prestigious standing is wasted by the terrible script and poor dialogue.
I had planned on giving a generous 5/10 but, after seeing the antiquated concept of wild animals (sources from a local circus, no doubt) held in small cages and looking like some sort of weird collection, it's now a 4/10.
Poor show, and reflective of a bygone age of lack of compassion for animals.
