Kenyan game warden George Adamson (Travers) and wife Joy (McKenna) adopt three new-born female lion cubs. One of them, Elsa, becomes Joy’s favourite. It is the beginning of an extraordinary relationship that transforms the Adamsons’ lives. Virginia McKenna was born to play Joy Adamson - arguably the most perfect piece of casting in British cinema.
