Long considered lost, rediscovered some twenty years ago, and shown surprisingly little since. A lovely, almost Disneyesque fairy-tale of love, orphans and animals with the background of a Budapest zoo...already it sounds a little like Snow White, and indeed some images remind one of that later film. A mixture of Gothic romance and melodrama, it doesn't really need its wild-animals-on-the-loose climax, but then Fox always believed in a bang-up finish, no matter what the subject matter. Easily one of Rowland V. Lee's finest films, though a great deal of the credit must go to Lee Garmes for his superb camerawork; lyrical in the love scenes, exciting in the animal footage. William K.
