...imperialism ever took: the gaudy slaughter at Omdurman with which Horatio Herbert Kitchener in 1898 avenged the massacre of General Gordon and the British garrison at Khartum, 13 years before. For Four Feathers Hungarian Alexander Korda, the Union Jack's most industrious cinematic flagwaver, sent his director-brother, Zoltan, and practically his entire cast to the Sudan, where they stumbled over some of the actual shells Kitchener had left behind, tottered in temperatures of 120° in the breeze. Able Actor Ralph Richardson, who suffers a sunstroke in the film, never mimed more realistically...
...British company, is also the British cinema industry's first major investigation of a subject which has often interested Hollywood: empire building in the north of India. Largely made on location near Chitral, Drums contains some of the most dazzling sequences ever recorded in Technicolor, but Director Zoltan Korda-wiser than many of his U.

To speak of the weaknesses first, this modern composer is not a master of the fugue. His individual lines are strong and clean, but he is sloppy in combining them...
...hunt, superbly photographed throughout, Elephant Boy is the first of three forthcoming Kipling pictures. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer will shortly release Captains Courageous. Scheduled by RKO is Gunga Din. To make Elephant Boy, Director Flaherty, financed by Alexander Korda's London Films, accompanied by Producer Korda's brother Zoltan, spent two years in the province of Mysore. The elephant hunt in the picture is a real one; it included a herd of 80, one of the biggest ever captured in Mysore, and one of Mysore's biggest single wild elephants, who does not distinguish himself in the picture...
