Androcles and the Lion

SPECTACLE, ROMANCE, COMEDY!...as only Shaw could write it and the screen show it!

This production of George Bernard Shaw's play, his final collaboration with Pascal, brings the classic fable to life with a broad, comic touch. Alan Young plays the titular Androcles, a Christian slave whose simple kindness—removing a thorn from a lion's paw—leads to an unexpected reprieve in the Colosseum. A talented supporting cast includes Jean Simmons, Victor Mature, Robert Newton, and Elsa Lanchester.
