Fiction and documentary footage rub shoulders uneasily, but the latter (shot by Flaherty in India) is vividly watchable.

The shots of breathtaking scenery, the animals and Sabu's unaffected performance combine to make this unmissable.

Robert Flaherty joined forces with Zoltan Korda to produce the terrific adventure film, based upon a Rudyard Kipling tale.

Although it has not aged well, there is still a great deal of merit to the story, the style and the stars, and any young person cannot fail to love it.
