A British drama film starring the real-life couple Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers as Joy and George Adamson - another real-life couple. The screenplay, written by blacklisted Hollywood writer Lester Cole (under the pseudonym "Gerald L.C. Copley"), was based upon Joy Adamson's 1960 non-fiction book Born Free. The film was directed by James Hill and produced by Sam Jaffe and Paul Radin. 

In the Northern province of Kenya, British Game Warden George Adamson is forced to kill a man-eating lion and his lioness. He realises too late that the lioness was charging in defence of her three cubs and so, realising the cubs are now motherless, brings them home so he and his wife Joy can raise them. 

“A true story; funny, dramatic, bittersweet and with a title song that will never be forgotten by anyone who hears it”.
