Leave your thoughts about Sanders of the River.
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsProduced with great dignity, the film has the advantage of a grand theme, of some glorious scenery, wild game, and native types all admirably photographed, of several really exciting sequences, and of some good singing. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn old-fashioned British colonial adventure drama set in Africa. |
| User ReviewBen Wwhile it is always a bit difficult to watch the treatment of black people in earlier film history, paul robeson is the kind of charismatic individual that made perhaps the biggest strides toward breaking that mold. what a powerful personality the man had, the resonance of his voice, that toothy smile. he commanded the respect that he deserved on screen. this film, treats africans with a patronizing demeanor seeing as it was a british film while it was still coming to terms with its imperial influences on the world. sanders, as the title refers to, is not robeson but british actor leslie banks, who is completely overshadowed by robesons performance. not necessarily the most incredible of films, but a great bit of history. |
