Born Free -- Endearing wildlife story of an African game warden (Bill Travers), his wife (Virginia McKenna) and Elsa, their pet lion who, when grown, must be taught teach how to survive in the jungle rather than being confined in a zoo. Director James Hill relishes the natural beauty of the Kenyan game preserve and gets warm prformances from the leads but nothing can stop Elsa from stealing the picture. Splendid family fare. (A-I)(PG) 1966
