When the camera is moving, this film is poetic and original in the way it creates an unearthly paradise within the confines of a crowded urban zoo, but when the camera stops and the actors start talking, it seems stilted and almost primitive. Since this is probably director Rowland Lee's best film, I can't help but think its power is best attributed to its great cinematographer Lee Garmes. Definitely an unusual, memorable film, and Loretta Young has never been more beautiful.

The opening scenes are wonderful with some memorably offbeat humour. The balance of the movie cannot compare, and the leading man is somewhat annoying, but there is an appealing strangeness about the film which does linger in the mind.

Rowland V. Lee patch together a delightful movie filled with cute animal moments. Gene Raymond as the carefree zoo keeper is perfect for the role playing with the lions and monkeys and walking around the zoo like he was one of them. Then there is Loretta Young looking lovely innocent. A orphan girl that runs away from her group and hides in the zoo and naturally falls for Raymond. And with that one get a lot of playful animal moments, beautiful human moments and a little catastrophe at the end.
