I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but since it was on the list ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, it took me a while to get into this flick. Indeed, I was really bothered by this ‘White Men Burden's’ crap and, you can say whatever you want but the damned thing was just really discriminating towards the ... read more

" Notes: To be honest, it took me a while to get into this flick. Indeed, I was really bothered by this ‘White Men Burden's’ crap and, you can say whatever you want but the damned thing was just really discriminating towards the natives (Basically, they were either portrayed as some obediant servants or some psychotic killers). However, I have to admit that I was still swept away by the whole thing which was basically some rather old fashioned action-adventure flick. Back then, they included"

"Homot menee naimisiin ja intialaiset on tyhmiä neekereitä. Gunga Din potee maailmanhistorian pahinta Tukholma-syndroomaa.

Seikkailuelokuva, jonka kaikki seikkailukohtaukset ovat kuolettavan tylsiä ja ylivoimaisesti paras kohtaus tapahtuu bileissä. Cary Grant oli taas mahtava, McLagle"
