Action of the Tiger film review at State theater
The MGM drama Action of the Tiger stars Van Johnson and Martine Carol with Herbert Lom. Johnson plays Carson an American adventurer who helps a Western European woman escape Albania while evading Albanian police and bandits in a dash to the Greek border. The film relies on action and star appeal but falls short of its ambitious aims and the cast’s performances lack depth.
