Man-Eater of Kumaon

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 by Oxford University Press in 1944.

The film was not based on any of the stories of the Corbett's bestselling book, but used a fictional plot.

The credits also state that "the character of The Hunter is a fictional one, and is not meant in any way to portray the author on whose book this motion picture is based."

While he hunts a much feared man-eating tiger, he learns from native customs and understands the approach to life of native couple Narain and Lali.
