Review of Gunga Din (1939) by Wezul S — 23 Apr 2013
To be 10 & seeing this on the big screen in '39 would've been pure magic. Cary Grant shines in this as part of a trio of British soldiers treasure hunting in occupied India. This is the obvious predecessor of Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom.
Entertaining, with the right mix of action & comedy. Escapism at its finest, if you can look past the ethnocentric views of "heathen" India. Hey, it was the '30s.
