The Sportsman
“"Larry and a Glorious Bouquet of Beautiful Girls in a Hilarious Comedy Scream."”
Synopsis
Larry acts as a fearless hunter who claims he is completely unfazed by small creatures like rabbits, canaries, and field mice. He remains entirely unafraid when dealing with the dozens of wives belonging to a Sultan. True panic sets in—and his bravado vanishes—when a half-dozen lions are suddenly let loose inside a conservatory, leading to signature slapstick acrobatics and frantic chase sequences.
