Faithful recreation of Rudyard Kipling's great
romance of Dick Heldar, artist, adventurer, gentleman unafraid,
gloriously done by a very distinguished cast set against the
panorama of British imperial ambition in the Sudan.! Colman brings
greatness to the role of the war correspondent-artist slowly
losing his sight to a war wound. He creates a sensation with
his portrait of courtesan Lupino, who falls in love with him
but proves unable to surmount class distinctions. Rather than
accepting his blindness, Colman opts for the noble gesture, seeking
death in battle against the fuzzy-wuzzies. The third film try
in 25 years for this Kipling story. |
