Product Description
Presented for the first time on DVD in the UK, King Of The Khyber Rifles is a classic action adventure by legendary Hollywood director Henry King (The Black Swan, The Gunfighter, Twelve O clock High).
Set in colonial India in 1857, Tyrone Power stars as British army officer Captain King. Sent to the threatened garrison post of Peshawar he is shunned by his fellow officers because he is half Indian. The goodwill of his commanding officer, General Maitland (Michael Rennie), is further tested when the General s daughter, Susan (Terry Moore), falls in love with him.
Ordered to train the fierce, native Khyber Riflemen into an efficient fighting regiment, King is driven to prove his loyalty to the Crown by quelling a brutal uprising that is led by his Indian boyhood friend (Guy Rolfe). King s first fight, however, will be to win the respect of the men of the Khyber Rifles.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2018Great copy of a great movie. Took quite a while to arrive.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2017First off, I want to clarify something about this DVD. This DVD is Region 2/PAL and will NOT play on players in the US unless you have a special multi region player.
As for the movie itself, it's a good adventure film and is well made. Tyronne Power delivers a fine performance as does is supporting players Terry Moore and Michael Rennie. It is well shot and well scores by Bernard Herrmann.
This DVD is nice but I do hope an American label gets wise and releases this on a region 1 disc.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2017You need a region free player to watch as it comes from Europe. The DVD is a widescreen showing within the 4:3 ratio window. The sound is tinny-unable to determine whether it is stereo. However since this is the only way to get this film, it is watchable. Unless you really want to see it, wait until a greedy 20th Century Fox or Twilight Time will release it appropriately for a high price knowing that you have no other choice. At least Twilight time does a great job on most films especially with the isolated music track-this is a Bernard Hermann score worth hearing the original rather than a re recording.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2014Arrived when expected, in new condign. Plays well and looks great.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2013I cannot get the DVD to play. I have tried it on several players and it will not work on any of them.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2012This is one of my all time favourite movies, all the cast perform well scenery is spectacula theres enough action to keep you intresterd as is Terry Moore for the guys and Tyrone Power for the ladies. I was going to order this from Amazon and pay what I concider a lot $26 for the movie and as I reside in Australia another $12-50 for post and handling however I picked up a copy brand new sealed for $5 which is the normal price for releases through Bounty its fully restored beautifull colour its in full widescreen Cinemascope, sound it great, this company releases masses of restored classics at bargin prices I would have paid the full wack but hey why do that if you don't have to. Summing up this is a great movie of its type and I enjoyed it as much as I did when I first saw it and I am certain all who see it will as well.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2017I got my player from amazon. Samsung makes all kinds.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2011This is another TCF release from Spain and is an excellent 2.35 Cinemascope copy.
I can certainly recommend it.
However, why are Fox releasing a lot of there classic back catalogue only in Spain?
None of these classics are being released in the USA or the UK. Why?
Fox only seem to be interested in repackaging modern films time and time again, most of
which are rubbish in any case compared to these older classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great film - just a shame about the missing scene
One of my favourite Tyrone Power films. In widescreen, so it looks really impressive. I'm just a bit disappointed that they've cut the scene where Captain King visits his step-father, and is told that his step-brother is now the bandit chief with whom the British are at war. It ruins the continuity, particularly as he refers to the visit in the following scene. The odd thing is that the scene where visits his step-father's old home to find it's been turned into a "club" has been left in. If they needed to make a cut for some reason, then this particular scene would have been the better one to cut instead of the one with his step-father.
But all-in-all this is a good copy of a great film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genial
Wundervoller Film vor schöner Landschaft. Ich wollte ihn unbedingt wegen meinem Bekannten der für die Sicherheit der Bundeswehr in Afghanistan sorgt. Tyrone sieht in rot wundervoll aus. Leider ist es heute viel gefährlicher als damals. Wir konnten den Film nicht zusammen ansehen!
