Man-Eater of Kumaon is a 1948 American adventure film directed by Byron Haskin and starring Sabu, Wendell Corey and Joanne Page.[1] 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 box office flop, although some interesting footage of the tiger was filmed. Corbett is known to have said that "the best actor was the tiger".[2]
