Wikipedia article
'Man-Eater of Kumaon' is a 1948 American adventure film directed by Byron Haskin and starring Sabu, Wendell Corey and Joy Page. The film was made after the success of the Jim Corbett book 'Man-Eaters of Kumaon', published in 1944.
The film was not based on any of the stories of the Corbett's bestselling book, but used a fictional plot. The film was a flop, although some interesting footage of the tiger was filmed. Corbett is known to have said that "the best actor was the tiger".Martin Booth, 'Carpet Sahib; A Life of Jim Corbett' (New York: Oxford University Press, 1991), 230.
