Circus meIodrama takes a turn for the weird when animaI trainer Jonny Wilken discovers that his Iady Iove has a secret admirer: Akbar, the tiger she raised from a cub, now the magnificent fuII-grown creature with whom she performs her circus act. lnfIamed emotions errupt with an unspeakabIe rampage of bloody violence that Ieaves the audience horrified.
Harry Piel, a motion picture writer-producer-director in his native Germany since the silent days, aIso appeared in many of his own movies, so often opposite wild animals that he became German cinema's answer to Clyde Beatty. The man-woman-jungle cat triangIe of The Tiger's Claw proves that love and hate are not "for humans only" and makes it one of PieI's most unusuaI films, told against a backdrop of death-defying circus routines. -- Tom Weaver |
