Feature Film
Director: Zoltan Korda
Writers: R.C. Sherriff, Lajos Biro, Arthur Wimperis, A.E.W. Mason
Cinematographers: Osmond Borradaile, Georges Périnal
Composer: Miklos Rozsa
Cast: John Clements, Ralph Richardson, C. Aubrey Smith, June Duprez, Allan Jeayes, Jack Allen, Donald Gray, Frederick Culley
At times unintentionally funny, and blighted with soporific action sequences, the Korda brothers’ production of Mason’s much filmed novel, a tale of derring-do set against the backdrop of the British lead massacre of Mahdist freedom fighters at Omdurman, filled with characters afflicted with nobility, selflessness, and other such inhumanly disagreeable characteristics, is a just about watchable if depressingly colonialistic, adventure film.
