Richard Harris is fantastic. This is definitely worth watching.A sad tale, but true stories often are. Have the tissues ready !!

A sad tale, but true stories often are, although it makes you think about some of the issues facing sub-saharan africa.

This film is not without flaw, but it's beautifully shot and Richard Harris is fantastic (such a loss).

I missed the first 1/3 (since it was on tv) and didn't anticipate watching the rest - but I found myself engrossed and entertained.

Have had the honour of meeting and actually been asked to stay as a guest at his home, Umkomazi in Tanzania.
Fitz a true character in real life,

(read more) I saw a clip of this on some British award show years ago and have wanted to see it since. Harris being the draw I finally did and He is fantastic in this. A brilliant performance by him and a good story. It does have some sloppy editing and some bad direction in parts but for Harris, Adamson and indeed lion fans, its a well enjoyed couple of hours.

I would love to see this movie on the life and times of 'Bwana Simba', the late George Adamson. and who said Kenya didn't have great people?

Dickie Harris is really why I watched this film. And it's a good one if you like lions. It does what it says on the cover. A nice little film to settle down with a few beers with if you're feeling like going to Africa or like lions.
