Will G @Kingofthepixies 10/29/2024 Excellent. How films used to be made before cgi humbuggery. See more Paul G @RT67423558 01/04/2022 It kept me entertained for the duration of the film, very much a sunday afternoon lazing in front of the TV film. Action, adventure, 60s political incorrectness, it has it all. See more 02/05/2020 Pretty exciting fare. Lauren Bacall is wonderful. Definitely a movie from a different era so it definitely has that sort of pacing, but if you are a Gunga Din, Zulu, or The Man Who Would Be King fan then you will appreciate this movie. See more Bill B @RT01438538 10/16/2019 It's good but not great. Production and cinematography are top notch, and lots of gun battles, but Herbert Lom gives the only interesting performance among the rather rigid acting. See more 03/16/2015 (79%) The always dependable Kenneth More stars this this Indian set action adventure shot in vibrant technicolor that really goes to prove that old films can be just as entertainingly watchable as any of the stuff we get these days. This can be easily compared to the brilliant Dark of the sun, although it is a little more family friendly, much more of a matinee Saturday afternoon crowd-pleaser than a hard-edged, hairy-backed armchair-gripper. Even though this is good popcorn fun, it still has a strong political theme running through involving the beginning of the end of British rule. The support cast is strong including Lauren Bacall and the always good Herbert Lom. So it's well made, entertaining, well cast, fun, and well worth a look. What more do you need? See more 08/25/2014 Exciting and unashamedly British adventure. A disparate group attempt to escape a rebel attack aboard a decrepit steam engine on the Indian North West Frontier in 1905. Kenneth More is excellent as the British officer tasked with protecting a young Indian prince, Lauren Bacall a feisty American governess and Herbert Lom is menacing as the slimy, untrustworthy journalist. The ensemble piece also includes a delightful performance from Wilfird Hyde-White as a consular officer who is perfectly cast and I.S. Johar as the train's driver, Gupta. Action, suspense and a stirring soundtrack ... they don't make them like this any more. See more Read all reviews
