Member Rating:  
In this sequel to the international success Born Free, George and Joy Adamson (Nigel Davenport and Susan Hampshire) are a pair of married conservationists who years ago rescued a lion cub named Elsa and -- after raising her to adulthood as a pet -- were able to successfully return her to the wild. Years later, the Adamsons discover that Elsa has died, leaving three cubs of her own to fend for themselves. George and Joy once again take the young lions under their wing to see that they safely grow to maturity, but the Adamsons also face the challenge of reacclimating the three cats to their natural environment so that they can live in freedom, as nature intended. Like its predecessor, Living Free was filmed on location in Kenya and features beautiful photography of the unspoiled African plains by Wolfgang Suschitzky and Jack C. Couffer (the latter also served as director). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    this is the second half to Born Free. I never knew they made a second half until I watch the movie, but it take up where the other one ends.

    I'm sorry but watching the Adamsons try to corral three lion cubs in such a fashion was just aggravating to watch. The lions and the African scenery are fine to watch but the rest of the movie suffers compared to Born Free. The title song is painful to listen to also. True story or not, the movie tries too hard and seems too contrived. On the other hand it does expain what becomes of Elsa and so if you are curious about the rest of the story and enjoy pretty photography, by all means rent this. I would imagine the book is much better though.
