| The SpectatorIsabel QuiglyThe film stays on its schoolboy level : good, and mostly good-humoured, fun which is splen- didly photographed, and moves imperturbably from climax to climax, each one outdoing the last with the satisfactory assurance of its hero. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioIt may not be another 'Lawrence of Arabia,' yet it has an excellent cast of characters and plenty of rousing excitement and stirring melodrama. |

| User ReviewDanielle WWonderfully tense chase movie over India. Great set of actors on top form. |
| User ReviewChris HA good film to watch on a wet Sunday afternoon. Kenneth More in good form with Lauren Bacall as the surprise love interest, a long, long way from her sultry performances with Humphrey Bogart. |
| User ReviewScott WA great adventure from one of my favorite time periods, and for that matter, story genres! |
| User ReviewSgt. C(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? |
| User ReviewRobert PInexcusable racist claptrap, ok. But also, Dammit, Dashed entertaining. Although Kenneth More is a bit wooden, he also has massive screen presence and is always fun to watch as the unthinking representative of a soft hearted empire on the decline, pitted against some pretty dastardly enemies and odds in India |
| User ReviewTracey cCliches in the second half of "North West Frontier" prevent the film from being as good as it could have been. |
| User Reviewjay nHigh production values,good acting and a not uninteresting story are pluses but the film seems to go on forever. A little editing and a quicker pace would have helped immeasurably. |
