McCarthy adventure thriller (based on Edgar Rice Burroughs novel "The Lad With the Lion"; "A story of Arabian love & adventure"; sort of a "Tarzan of Arabia", where a young man in an Arab country is taken by his father to meet a sheik, and his father is killed along with his entire party, except for his young son, who is rescued and given to a holy man, who lives with lions; he grows up and decides to avenge his father's death, and he is known by the Arabs as "El Lion", because of his affinity with that species, and by all accounts, this is an excellent movie!) starring Kathleen Burke, Jon Hall (billed under his birth name of "Charles Loucheur"), Richard Carlyle, Ted Adams, and Finis Barton. Note that the movie was filmed in Arizona, which stood in for the Arabian desert. And are there actually lions in the Arabian desert? Such trivia did not matter to Edgar Rice Burroughs!
