@Cameron11 09/03/2022 An ok film that has some entertainment value. George Arliss is the best thing about the film (even though you would never believe him to be Indian) due to his entertainment value at playing the menacing Raja. What I liked about the film is that you don't know who is going to survive and escape from the Raja. However, the rest of the casts acting is not good and the sound quality is quite bad as well. Arliss was nominated for his role as the Raja but lost to himself for playing Benjamin Disraeli in Disraeli which I think was a better performance in a better film. I also note that both of Arliss's performances were better than Tibbett's Oscar-nominated performance in (what's left of) The Rogue Song, the only Best Actor nominee I have seen from that year. Overall, a mildly intriguing film due to film history but also due to Arliss's performance and an interesting plot, everything else is lacklustre. See more 12/14/2021 I was disappointed. George Arliss is the scheming Raja who manages to capitalize on an airplane crash that delivers three British citizens into his hands just as the fate of his three siblings is about to be settled in neighboring India. His subjects believe that it was the hand of the benevolent Green Goddess who has delivered this opportunity for retribution to their Raja, so the three begin to look doomed, unless they can use the radio to summon help. It's a stage bound presentation and Arliss, usually good, is off form. The production is basic in limiting aspirations of director Alfred Green. The film is just all a bit flat for what seems like a long 75 minutes and ends in a let down. See more steve d 07/23/2020 Far too over the top for me. See more 10/13/2019 Matching wits with a paradoxical Rajah and his murderous people in this adventure three survivors are rescued ,not suspecting the terrible fate awaiting them. Solid performances by the entire cast and still watchable . See more 02/03/2016 good pre-code drama set in far off India but made on the backlot. See more Read all reviews
