Review of Living Free (1972) by Luciano G — 13 Jan 2013
Born Free was a great family film with both adorable and ferocious animals in the film based on a true story, you would think it wouldn't need a sequel, but one was made.....and this sequel is it's well-meaning and suitable for children even if doesn't emphasise the conservation message that prevailed in the original.
....I don't know why the fantastic performers Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers declined to be in the sequel, maybe they read the script following almost exactly the same thing all over again....Hampshire and Davenport are alright but not as good, and the lions are still cute, cuddly and ferocious looking, but the title song isn't as memorable as Matt Monro's.
...all in all anybody who has ever seen and loved "Born Free", will like this sequel.......
