Fearless Fagan

Fearless Fagan is a story based on a real life lion and his best human friend. Carleton Carpenter plays the human friend and while he's not an animal trainer per se, he and Fagan the lion have worked out a marvelous circus act for themselves. And Fagan is one man lion.

But that all could change when Carpenter receives his draft notice. He feels he can't leave Fagan with the circus. So he takes him with him. Might have been better suited for the British army.

This is based on a true story and knowing that you know that somehow the United States Army accommodated Carp;enter and his friend. How they did it is for you to see the film for. But USO entertainer Janet Leigh certainly helped.

Fearless Fagan hasn't lost any of its cuteness. Nice performance also by Keenan Wynn as Carpenter's sergeant. Still quit enjoyable.
