Leslie Howard and Ann Harding in The Animal Kingdom (1932)

Trivia

The Animal Kingdom

Edit
Considered lost for many years. In the early '80s film historian Ron Haver was searching for missing material for the restoration of A Star Is Born (1954) when he came across a long-forgotten print and negative in the Warner Bros. vaults. The studio had purchased the remake rights for this film from RKO sometime in the mid-'40s and, due to unreliable bookkeeping, misplaced the print and negative in its vaults.
Daisy's declaration "Behold, the bridegroom cometh. And no oil for my lamp, as usual. A foolish virgin me. Oh, foolish anyway." is a reference to the story of the ten virgins with oil lamps greeting the bridegroom, told in Matthew 25:1-13.
The film flopped with Depression-era audiences. It ended up $110,000 in the red.
According to files in the MPAA/Collection at the AMPAS Library, RKO considered reissuing this film in 1935 and 1937 but was informed by the PCA that it would not approve the film for censorship reasons.
According to "Film Daily", this was an example of the kind of "adult fare" that David O. Selznick was pushing RKO to produce.
