Wiki.
Paper Tiger is a 1975 British drama-adventure film starring David Niven and the child actor Kazuhito Ando, who later portrayed Teru Tendou in Ganbaron. The film was based on a novel of the same name by Jack Davies, who also wrote the screenplay.
The title comes from a Chinese expression meaning a person who looks powerful or strong but is in fact ineffectual.
