CHRISTIAN THE LION 1sh '71

Lease from Hershenson/Allen Archive



An Original Vintage One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh) (Learn More)

The Lion at World's End (released theatrically in the U.S. in 1977 as "Christian the Lion"), the 1971 Bill Travers English adventure documentary ("Love... Laughter... Adventure... and the 'Born Free' legend grows") featuring Bill Travers, Virginia McKenna, George Adamson, John Rendall, Anthony Bourke, Terrence Adamson, "and the Lions" Christian, Boy, Katinia, Mona, Lisa, Juma, Jessica, and Supercub. Note that this film was shown on television (TV) in the U.S. in 1972 under the original title, but did not get a theatrical release until 1977 (as "Christian the Lion"). Also, note that Christian was born in captivity and purchased by John Rendall and Anthony 'Ace' Bourke from Harrods department store in London in 1969. However, Christian's growing size and the increasing cost of his care led the men to realize that they could not keep him in London. When Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna (stars of the film Born Free) visited the men and met Christian, they suggested that they ask the assistance of George Adamson. Adamson, a Kenyan conservationist, who together with his wife Joy raised and released Elsa the lioness (the story told in the film Born Free), agreed to reintegrate Christian into the wild at their compound in the Kora National Reserve. One year after Adamson released Christian to the wild, his former owners decided to go looking for him to see whether Christian would remember them. He did, and with him were two lionesses who accepted the men as well. A video of the reunion has been shared on social media millions of times!
