Interesting look at British Colonial Rule

...with a little soft porn thrown in for good measure. lol

Overall though I loved the film: among other things it has inspired me to read further about British Colonial Rule, and in fact I'm now looking for one of those tropical khaki uniforms in which John Truscott was attired - pith helmet included.

*Interesting note: Also, this film was set when the third British White Rajah, Charles Vyner Brooke, was on the throne in Sarawak. Sarawak was not actually a British colony at this time, and did not become one until after the Second World War when the Third Rajah abdicated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_sleeping_dictionary
