anyother movies like this ?

Its predecessor was the 1938 film "The Drum" (called "Drums" in the US) and it is just a shade lesser film, made on location in India. The followup to "The Four Feathers" was "Thief of Bagdad" in 1940, probably the finest fantasy film ever made. And I'd probably rate "The Four Feathers" as my personal favourite film. All of these are in full colour.

You may also like the Korda-produced "Knight Without Armour" which takes place in Russia (though filmed in black-and-white in the UK in 1937) starring Robert Donat and Marlene Dietrich. Enjoy!

That which does not Kill me makes me Stranger . .

Beau Geste (1939)
Northwest Passage (1940)

Made in the 70's but
The Wind And The Lion (1975)
The Man Who Would Be King (1975)

All excellent films. Let me second "Gunga Din".












Yes, sir, I'm going to do nothing like she's never been done before!

Don't forget one of the biggest pictures of the 1950's: "The Bridge on the River Qwai". While not quite the "class" of TFF, still a powerful commentary upon what made the British Empire, an "Empire".

First of all, a hearty 'hear, hear' to all the splendid choices above this post

Only one missed I can think of;

Zulu (the one with the astonishing Michael Caine)



p.s. sorry to hear of your Crocodylidaelic difficulties

"Sanders of the River" (1935) was first of three "the-sun-never-sets-on-the-British-Empire" films produced by Alexander Korda and directed by his brother Zoltan Korda. This one stars Paul Robeson and was filmed on African locations (in Nigeria, I believe) in black-and-white. A good film, but "The Drum" (1938) filmed on location in India and in full colour was even better, and "The Four Feathers" (1939) the best of the lot.

Hungarian expatriate Zoltan Korda directed "Sahara" (1943), starring Humphrey Bogart whose Sgt. Joe Gunn character's brash (but effective) American ways show the British how to get the job done when combatting the Nazis in North Africa with only a tank and a handful of men. A great war film, but not at all in keeping with the sentiment of the three aforementioned pictures.

The best of the Korda connected movies have been listed on this thread but I would also suggest (if you can find it) "Revolt in the Desert".......one of the first Lawrence of Arabia connected films and directed by Z Korda, "Cry, the Beloved Country" (because it is an excellent movie, directed by Z Korda and featuring Sidney Poitier in one of his first starring roles), "Counter-Attack" (directed by Z Korda and a war picture as seen from the Russian Front) starring Paul Muni and Marguerite Chapman as a Russian partisan, and finally one of my all-time favorites.......a kinda-of-a war movie about the WWI era - "The African Queen" with Bogie winning an Oscar in one of his greatest character roles, Charlie Allnut and Hepburn at her feistiest (and sexiest!)!
