Man-Eater of Kumaon(Movie, 1948)

Man-Eater of Kumaon is a 1948 American adventure film directed by Byron Haskin and starring Sabu, Wendell Corey and Joanne Page. The film was made after the success of the Jim Corbett book Man-Eaters of Kumaon, published by Oxford University Press in 1944. The film was not based on any of the stories of the Corbett's bestselling book, but used a fictional plot. The credits also state that "the character of The Hunter is a fictional one, and is not meant in any way to portray the author on whose book this motion picture is based." The film was a box office flop, although some interesting footage of the tiger was filmed. Corbett is known to have said that "the best actor was the tiger". ()
