Fearless Fagan is a 1952 American comedy film directed by Stanley Donen and stars Janet Leigh and Carleton Carpenter.

[2] The film was inspired by the 12 Feb 1951 Life Magazine story Fearless Fagan Finds a Home where Private Floyd D. Humeston requested an emergency 14-day furlough from Ft. Ord, California to take care of his pet lion.

Frightened, she gives her word to keep Fagan's presence a secret, but soon appears in the woods with Colonel Horne and troops in search of the lion.

Abbey then appears and leads Floyd to the outdoor pool where they find Fagan jumping from the diving board and swimming to safety.

[1] Harrison's Reports found the movie "...a highly amusing comedy, the kind that will provoke uproarious laughter.
