A young girl's faith... A town's raw courage... against a frightened tiger on the loose!

A tiger escapes from a circus truck as it passes by a small town, and hides itself in the surrounding woods. This throws the town into a panic and everyone wants the animal killed immediately, except for the daughter of the sheriff. She wants to capture the tiger and put it in a zoo, thereby saving the tiger's life. Her determination starts a nationwide campaign among children to raise the money to buy the tiger from the circus, but first, she, her father and an Indian tiger trainer must find the tiger before the National Guard do, who have orders to kill it on sight.

'A Tiger Walks' is a good film. The premise isn't the most incredible but it's certainly one that keeps you watching, I feel they manage the human side of the story well though could've had more scenes with the tiger itself. I particularly enjoyed the ending. Brian Keith leads a satisfying cast, portraying the role of Sheriff Pete. At this point, I've seen four other Disney films with Keith and even though they've been a tad hit-and-miss he always tends to be the best actor onscreen - and that's no different here. There's not much to note about his co-stars, to be honest. It's pleasing to see, for once, that the studio has an animal production with a positive message towards them. Admittedly, you could still question the care of the tiger across the duration of the film itself. All in all, a solid start to 1964 for Disney's live-action releases.
