Disappointing remake of the 1939 classic
5 October 2002
I loved the 1939 version of this tale and still remember "Surely you will miss your tongue?" or "If he loses he will kill us for revenge and if he wins he will kill us for sheer joy." THe 1939 was coherrent and disguising himself as a mute Sengali to infiltrate the lines was logical. The plot device used here was ludicrous at best. There was only one battle scene and no massed attack at Omdurman. Finally the closing scene where the General's tale of the Crimean War is told to be an accident was omitted from this movie. Disappointed. Reply to me at barontroll@cs.com
