Country: US
Technical: bw 117m
Director: George Stevens
Cast: Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen, Douglas Fairbanks Jnr, Joan Fontaine, Sam Jaffe
Synopsis:
A native Indian helps three British sergeants forestall a revolt by Thuggees along the north west frontier.
Review:
A fine finish for a decade spent raising the flag for the British Empire, this RKO actioner risks casting against type and mixing comedy with drama, as in a John Ford western. Rousing stuff, with some really fine mobile camerawork and original effects for such hackneyed material.
