A die-hard Errol Flynn fan I would be a little biased if I called this movie a classic as it lacks the Flynn touch of the 30s or the 40s but certainly puts his inimitable mark on the film.
A not so well adapted tale of Rudyard Kipling the film is still an interesting one to watch and we are given a once more fleeting glimpse of the Flynn who was in his role of a British soldier in disguise in the days of the Raj.
The photography is quite good but most memorable is the viewing of Errol in probably his last role as a swashbuckler which he delivers with panache. Why did he have to leave so soon?
