I was not expecting to like this movie so much
Wow, what a film! I was not expecting to like this movie so much. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it even better than the acclaimed A Passage to India. I was hooked from the very beginning as the king worriedly hands his son, the prince over to Kenneth More. The story has been described by others—a British captain (More) and a handful of others are attempting to escort a 6 year old Hindu prince to safety some 300 miles away all the while being stalked by a roving army of Muslim fanatics intent on killing the prince. They even massacre a trainload of innocent Hindu refugees in the process. There is a gripping tension that hangs over the whole film as their little train carrying the prince winds its way through the Indian countryside.Excellent cinematography and likable characters (except for one) are just some of the positives. I especially liked Gupta, the railway man. He and his broken English provide some comic relief in the midst of the ominous situation. “It will be ready in a soon moment, sahib!” And for a film made in 1959, the special effects were very realistic. The scene where they are high up on the rail bridge looked more real than most modern cartoon CGI junk. No profanity or nudity and no needless gore. There are subtitles for the hard of hearing. I usually rate a movie by my willingness to want to watch it again. Well, with this one, I knew I’d want to watch it again before it was even over! What a “good little movie” as Lauren Bacall once referred to it.

Lauren Bacall is beautiful & feisty (big surprise)
This is one of my favorites of the 1950’s adventure classic films! Set in about 1910, It covers a fascinating piece of the history of Colonial Britain when it occupied India. I find the dynamics of a small group of disparate refugees traveling an old train, thru dangerous county, being chased by thronging enemies REALLY interesting. There’s an American nanny, a small Hindi child (heir of a Maharaja), a Colonial British soldier, an angry Dutch/Indonesian Muslim newspaperman, a proud dyed-in the wool Bristish matron (wife of a Consul), a humble Hindi train engineer, and a cavalier French arms dealer. Intersting dialogue – as the characters debate the morality/necessity of British occupation, and the effectiveness of violence to achieve political/religious goals. Lauren Bacall is beautiful & feisty (big surprise). Kenneth Moore is steadfast & duty bound. Filmed on location in India.

Flame Over India (The North West Frontier)
Excellent adventure film. Taking place in 1905 Imperial India, a British captain must escort a young Hindu prince from hostile territory to a safe haven via a rickety steam engine train. It seems there is an eons-old conflict between the Hindus and Muslims and the Muslims want to kill the child in order to control the territory. Along for the ride is the child’s governess and various others. Also along for the ride is a hostile Muslim, identity unknown to the others, intent on sabotaging the mission. By the end of the film you realize the tensions in the land are not over, this time between the Hindus and the British. Beautifully filmed in India and Spain. The best performance is from I.S. Johar as Gupta, the engaging train engineer. The Rank Collection DVD release is excellent quality. Highly recommended.

Kenneth More is in seriously stiff-upper-lip form as Captain Scott in this classic high adventure set in the days of British Indian rule.The natives are revolting. He is tasked to secure an Indian prince and his governess from the marauding hordes. The plan is to take a train from the nearest British garrison, but they are late and it leaves without them, crammed with people in a way that only Indians seem to know how. The garrison is laid seige, but Scott breaks out in a tiny locomotive with one carriage and a motley band of escaping civilians.Lauren Bacall holds her own as governess, despite being ludicrously out of place both in the country and the role. She was the essential American A-lister that was always thought necessary to secure transatlantic approval. Bacall provides More’s love interest – in between cups of tea. Also on fine form is Wilfrid Hyde White as a dithery but kindly bachelor, a part he plays with unique charm and fidelity. There is Herbert Lom, a cynical journalist with a dark secret. They and others create a wonderful character ensemble that make fine work of an intelligent script, allowing for some insightful if antagonistic exchanges. There is also I S Johar, who is almost the voice of India, kindly, caring, hopeful and a little confused as an engine driver apt to turn the English language into exotic curry.That lot itself would make for a fine movie, but add in plenty of rollicking adventures with wonderful sweeping photography, and you have the stuff of something great. Although often a little toungue-in-cheek and coming with a `U’ certificate, it still doesn’t shy away from human wickedness. In time, they catch up to the earlier train that More intended to take. However, the rebels have got there first. It’s a surprisingly grim spectacle and leaves the viewer in no doubt what capture must mean for our motley band.They just don’t make movies like this any more. Indeed; they can’t. All of the adults featured are middle-aged, mature, and level-headed; Hollywood’s obsession with youth would turn a remake into little more than a brat-fight propped up by pyrotechnics and special-effects.Check it out. It’s a great movie of real characters we can care about. As Wilfrid Hyde White says of the arch villain `You know I couldn’t help liking him even if he did try to drill us full of holes’.The DVD supplied was, as usual, clear in sound and vision. I just thought the colours had faded a little with age, but not enough to impair viewing pleasure.

Well made with a brilliant cast, most watchable.

Director J. Lee Thompson has Kenneth More at his pukka best! Ably supported by Lauren Bacall, Herbert Lom and the obligatory Wilfred Hyde-White, Kenneth More plays a British Army officer in Northern India entrusted with delivering a young Indian prince, whose father has been murdered by the rampaging insurrectionists who object to British dominion of the sub-continent, to safety in a run-down old steam train. Bacall plays the prince’s governess and romantic interest for More’s no-nonsense British officer. Armed only with a Gatling gun and a few rifles, More and his handful of loyal Indian sepoys help the prince and a couple of other British subjects across miles of open country, fending off attacks from hordes of warriors, to safety in a train pulled by a locomotive strangely reminiscent of the Titfield Thunderbolt. A few stereotypical Indians accompany More’s stiff upper-lip in this action-packed wheeze. Gloriously politically incorrect, this is another of those classics from the Fifties: tightly written, beautifully filmed with acting just a hair-breadth short of ham. This was released in the U.S. as ‘Flame over India’.
