• Archived newspapers describe this special as shot on location entirely by amateur photographers, mainly Paar and his daughter Randy. The quality of the film is matched by the narration, with Paar seeming to bend over backwards to give the program as homey and natural a flavor as possible. Homey to Paar is having a lion cub as big as a small St. Bernard frisking through his living room and backyard at his Bronxville home. The film then shifts to Kenya, where three lionesses are to be shot for having killed a pet leopard. Paar goes through many pains to save them, including a $6,000 air fare to Florida's Lion Country tourist attraction. The lion-loving Paar is upstaged in that area by the Marchesa Suki Bisleti, who is as easy amongst the 400-pound cats as you might be with kittens.
