- Padding: The B-plot of Fred becoming a lion tamer is relevant to the A-plot, but much of the footage dedicated to the tigers and lions does nothing but fill up the running time.
- Stock Footage Failure: No visionary camerawork or well-honed editing skills are going to hide the fact that the footage from The Big Cage is a decade older than the footage shot for Captive Wild Woman. The 1933 footage is much grainier and crude than the 1943 footage and on top of that ten years is a long time for women's fashion. If nothing else, one can tell from the hats that the women in the audience weren't filmed in 1943.
- Values Dissonance: The fact that Beth, the film's sympathetic heroine, considers "racial improvement" a laudable cause won't endear her to modern audiences.
