This beautifully photographed film starts with a Moslem siege of a British fortress town in rural India. Efforts to get the Maharaja's son away from the fighting provide the film's main focus. More commandeers an old train engineered by the feisty Johar and, with a number of others, escapes from the fort. The fugitives have a number of wild adventures along the way, including the machinations of the traitor in their midst, Lom. FLAME OVER INDIA is a very enjoyable film, loaded with action, suspense, and excellent acting--especially from Bacall and More, whose characters have a tempestuous relationship, and from Hyde White, as a charming Englishman with the manners of a Victorian gentleman. leave a comment
