Tyrone Power that in ¨Witness for prosecution¨ caused sensation here in his most exciting role . The story of a love that was greater than honor and race ; and a courage that stood alone against the fury of India's great rebellion . Set in India as the title indicates , half-legend , half-land ...alive and wondrous thanks to spectacular outdoors through the magic of sterophonic sound , big screen , and anamorphic lens . The great desert , thundering path of empire, the fanatic Afridi horsemen and the hordes of Kurran Khan ...the Bazaars of Peshawar and the Night of the Long Knives . And the crowning spectacle of the man who carved a saga of battle and love across the towering peaks of the Khiver Pass .
Adventure and thrilling movie set in India in the turbulent late 19th century . It is a rousing , moving , stirring tale , but rough-edged fare . Dealing with interesting issues , such as imperialism , colonialism and racism . One of Tyrone's later movies , a bit later on , he would die while shooting in Spain : Salomon and Queen Sabah directed by King Vidor , being replaced by Yul Brynner , but still within his tradition of making adventure movies which spanned around the world . Power plays with some sensitivity the captain isolated by his colleagues and by the girlfriend's father .Tyrone Power gives a good acting , as usual .Tyrone seems to be more serious than the Swashbucklers or pirate movies he played when his good looks and swordmanship were both at their peak and much competition with Errol Flynn in the adventure stakes , such as : Black Swan , The Zorro , Prince of Foxes , Captain from Castile and The Black Rose . These enjoyable films were all well played by Power who was nearly at his most agile and deft style , as he starred various ¨Sword and Swagger¨ films and was superstar of Hollywood swashbucklers . While his love interest , the very young Terry Moore is mediocre . There are strong but brief performances from Michael Rennie , Frank De Kova , John Justin , Richard Wyler and the villain Guy Rolfe who often performs baddie roles .This is the second version based on the novel , John Ford directed the first titled The Black Watch set in WWI , though this Henry King movie was set in 1857 , shooting in Lone Pine , California ,during three months.
It packs a colorful photography in Technicolor , with color de Luxe. Lavishly produced by Frank Rosenberg, and Universal International , being accompanied by brilliant and glimmer cinematography by Leon Shamroy . Thrilling as well as sensitive musical score by maestro Bernard Herrmann , Hitchcock's ordinary . The motion picture was well directed by Henry King. He was an expert on adventure genre , as Henry made Stanley and Livingstone , assisted uncredited in Son of Fury , directed the masterpiece : The black swan , and Prince of Foxes , the Biblical : David and Bathseba , The snows of Kilimanjaro and Untamed . As well as Lloyd's of London and In old Chicago .Rating : better than average . The flick will appeal to Tyrone Power fans .
