Title: Great picture
Product review: Set in 1905, this movie portrays the adventures of a group of westerners attempting to escape an Indian city under seige by Muslim insurgents. They have a young prince with them, who is the key to keeping one of the kingdoms aligned to the British Empire.The movie is fun and reminds me of the British films I used to watch in Alaska when I was a kid (for some reason we always got English movies set in the jungle or the desert). The players in North West Frontier did an excellent job (led by Bacall), and this was as true for the leads as it was for the supporting cast. As far as the writing was concerned, there was quite a bit of plot twists and other devices (including a potential traitor!) and it made for great entertainment. Historically it seemed like a realistic portrayal of life in India at the beginning of the 20th C., although this is not an area of emphasis for me.
