Harry Black (later titled Harry Black and the Tiger) is a 1958 British film adaptation of the novel Harry Black by David Walker, released by 20th Century Fox.
The film stars Stewart Granger, Barbara Rush and I. S. Johar in a BAFTA nominated role. It was shot in India.
Professional hunter Harry Black is in India. He wants to bag a tiger that is threatening a nearby village. As he proceeds on his journey, he encounters numerous people, including the young, and maybe too smart, Desmond Tanner and his wife Chris, who was Harry's first wife.
The book was published in 1956. The New York Times called it "a most intelligent novel". Film rights were purchased by 20th Century Fox. Lord Bradbourne was assigned to produce, in part because he was son-in-law of Lord Mountbatten, former viceroy of India, and thus had many contacts in that country.
Stewart Granger and Anthony Steel signed to play the lead roles. Filming began in India on 2 January 1958.Hugo Fregonese directed.
