Kim (1950)
Directed by Victor
Saville this film based on the Rudyard Kipling novel of the same name
stars Errol Flynn, Dean Stockwell and Paul Lukas. A British orphan
lives on the streets in India and becomes involved in the world of
spies.
As a childhood
adventure film this works pretty well although the plot does not
really fit the Hollywood model. Most of the changes between the novel
and the film appear to be towards the end and I would say that it
seems the film lacks the depth of the book's ending. Generally the
film is fairly well made with some nice locations but Errol Flynn is
a bit wooden at times.
3/5
