...great beast seems to materialize out of the dusk -- a striped vision of might and mystery. Emerging from a thicket in southern India's Nagarahole National Park, the Bengal tigress is hungry and ready to begin another night's hunt. To nourish her 500-lb. body, she must kill a sambar deer, a boar or some other big animal every week of her adult life. Fortunately for her, Nature has given tigers the prowess to prey upon creatures far larger than the cats are.

...theater. Katharine Hepburn may not be talking good sense in West Side Waltz, but when she puts her incandescent ardor behind any given sentence, you'd better believe it. Lauren Bacall is no great shakes as a dancer or singer, but when she fixes a playgoer with those tigress eyes, cool judgment succumbs to shimmering illusion...
