Product Description

The boy Kim knows how to scrounge up a hot meal in India's bustling cities, how to scamper catlike across rooftops, and disguise himself as a local and conceal his Anglo heritage. To Kim, these are just ways to be free. To colonial British intelligence, they're skills it knows will be useful when it makes Kim a spy. Like Gunga Din, Captains Courageous and The Man Who Would Be King, Kim belongs to the treasury of films based on Rudyard Kipling's works. Dean Stockwell, then just five years into a career stretching from the 1940s into the 21st century, plays the title role. And Errol Flynn is Red Beard, Kim's protector and a key operative in espionage activities that spies call "the Great Game." It's all great Kiplingesque adventure.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The only pro-colonial movie you need to see
    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    The movie is based on a book by Kipling, and situated in India during the colonial era, so expect the good guys to be British, India to be loved and surprisingly, the Russians to be the bad guys. The tale is about Kim, a young British orphan born in India who escapes going to the British schools by pretending to be a young Indian. His knowledge of local languages and customs makes him a good candidate to become a spy for the British.
    Many aspects of the movie make of it a great find. First, it was filmed in India in 1949-14950, shortly after Indian Independence and not in studio like most Technicolor movies of the day. There are remarkable views of India before the great move towards modernity. You would need today a lot of special effects to do the movie, while 60 years ago, plain photography was good enough. Only a few scenes were shot in California. The actors are beautiful to watch, from a very young Dean Stockwell as Kim to Errol Flynn, flamboyant as a red-beard horse merchant with a taste for women, and Academy-award winner Paul Lukas playing a lama who becomes a companion to Kim.
    Many children become spies in war times, like Audrey Hepburn in world war 2. R.V. Jones says in his memoirs that many children were pretending to play on the roads while counting the number of tanks and troops in Holland and Belgium. But this story of a young spy has exotic charm as a plus and it does not have the rigid morality rules of the early Disney movies. For instance Flynn (as Mahbub Ali, the Red Beard) kisses a woman who turns out to be a spy for the other side and .... you got to see this film. It is as good as, say, Indiana Jones.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Old classics still the best
    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    Despite Errol Flynn's issues with the public during the Second World War, this remains one of the great classics. His acting always seemed on the cusp of silent and talkie film, and perhaps that little bit "hammed up". He yet again portrays effectively the true "villainous hero" type. I always felt Dean Stockwell should have got top billing, but then I saw it first as a kid around his age. He had the good fortune to be selected to play roles in a number of the other films of Kipling's novels (for example, Captains Courageous). Kipling's great adventures were the ultimate "stuff" of the Saturday Matinee, and this is a prime example of those "ripping yarn" style presentations. The later production with Ravi Sheth was good, in colour,with great character actors (Bryan Brown) but seemed to lack the period charm of the original. My advice. Read the book, watch the original, watch the remake and then decide. For those who may not be aware, a later sequel to Kim was written by an Indian author, and while it sides Kim with the pro-independence, anti-Raj movement, it nonetheless takes the story a little further, for those who wondered what happened to Kim afterwards.

    It is hard to find. I got an interlibrary loan copy from the National Library of Australia. Yes, that hard to find.

    Five stars for story telling without a great range of special effects. Three stars because it was not possible to show the scenery in colour (and that is definitely an unfair rating) and four and a half stars for Saturday Matinee style acting.

    This is for curling up on a Saturday after lunch, with a comforting bowl of chips or popcorn, pulling the curtains and travelling back in time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Kim
    Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2010

    "Kim", based on a story by Rudyard Kipling and filmed on location
    in India in 1950, is a fascinating movie. It is the type of movie
    that you can watch over and over again and still be entertained.

    Essentially an adventure movie, it also has moments of drama,
    amusement, devotion, suspense, intrigue and action and you are
    totally absorbed in young Kim's wonderous world. It is a
    colorful display of life in India at the turn of last century
    when England ruled this vast empire.

    The story deals with the continuing infiltration into India of
    the Soviet Union and its satellites through the Kyber Pass in
    their attempt to dominate the northern provinces of India.

    Mahbub Ali "Red Beard" (Errol Flynn) works for the British
    Secret Service who are attempting to foil the plot. He enlists
    the aid of his young friend Kim (Dean Stockwell) who is an
    orphaned white boy and a product of the back streets and
    alleyways. Kim is used as a courier and a spy. He is also
    a devoted disciple of a Buddhist priest (Paul Lucas) and he
    helps him in his quest to find a sacred river. The priest
    returns the favour and for his friendship and devotion pays
    for the boy's education at a military school.

    The leader of the Secret Service is Colonel Creighton
    (Robert Douglas) and other members are Hurree Chunder
    (Cecil Kelloway) and Lurgan Sahib (Arnold Moss).

    One of my favourite segments of the movie is when young Kim
    is placed in the care of Lurgan Sahib who teaches Kim the
    art of observation and remembering what he has seen down to
    the last detail - to-day commonly called "Kim's Game".

    The entire cast is outstanding and in particular Errol Flynn,
    Dean Stockwell and Paul Lucas.

    Great entertainment.

    Orphaned mixed race child is put to work by the British Empire as a spy. He easily blends among the locals and is able to gain important information for the military. I thought it was a great adventure as a child, but see the manipulation as an adult.

    As a huge fan of old war/adventure classics (especially those of the Errol Flynn genre), this gem was a 'must - have' for my collection. As the disc-case jacket states "A great family adventure by the author of The Jungle Book".

    Si le DVD a pris son temps pour arriver, ce qui est compréhensible car venant des USA, je n'ai pas été déçu. Si le DVD est d'occasion et le support intérieur du disque un peu abîmé, c'est néanmoins plus que conforme. Il était prévu en langue anglaise avec sous-titrage en anglais, mais la langue française de doublage est disponible. Le menu pour accéder au film est simple et clair. Pas de pub. et on trouve rapidement ce dont on a besoin.
    Ce film de 1950 est en couleur et n'a pas fait semble t'il l'objet d'une restauration.
    Détail amusant, la MGM remercie les maharadjas qui ont autorisé le tournage sur leurs terres....
    Pour le reste chacun aura son avis sur ce film qui sera sans doute surtout visionné par des cinéphiles passionné de ciné-club.
    L'histoire se passe aux Indes et est tirée d'un roman de Rudyard Kipling. Le scénario se tient encore bien malgré les années passées et le jeu d'acteurs ne paraît pas démodé. Moins connu que les 3 lanciers du Bengale ou Gunga Din, il reste un film à voir ou à revoir.
