Review of Kim (1950) by Timothy J — 06 Jan 2013
Kim (1950) -- [6.5] -- This Rudyard Kipling adventure stars young Dean Stockwell in the title role, playing a sneaky street-wise kid who spies for British Intelligence in colonial India. The adventure is a little more episodic than I prefer, bringing Kim into contact with several supporting players, including an older spy named Red Beard (an underutilized Errol Flynn), a curt hypnotist (Arnold Moss), and a holy man (Paul Lukas).
The story moves briskly, but could have afforded more character moments and grace notes. Still a solid family matinee sort of flick.
