Curiosidades
Korda had read and been so impressed Kipling's 'Toomai of the Elephants', that when documentary director Robert Flaherty came to him for backing, he readily gave it to him and sent him to India in February 1935. After over a year with nothing productive been done, Korda sent director Monta Bell to help out. and then Zolta Korda. By Summer 1936, with over 55 hours of background footage and still no story, the crew were brought back to Denham Studios . Writer John Collier was brought in to produce a simple script for Zoltan to shoot in the studios and on location on the River Colne.

Photography and Music highlights of this docu-drama

It is quite clear from the beginning that we have to be understanding about Sabu's acting ability in this his first film.He undertakes the opening narration in a very stilted form.It is quite apparent that he is reading off of boards placed behind the camera.The scenes in India are very well photographed in black and white and the music is quite captivating.the dramatic scenes though are often rather awkward.Not just because of Sabu.the scenes of him with the white trappers are very redolent of the Empire,upon whom the sun never set.Korda did rather have an obsession about this.Bearing in mind that he had previously made Sanders of The River and was about to embark upon "The Drum" and of course "The Four Feathers".Sabu would shortly become a much more skilled performer.
