During the 1880s in India, a young orphan named Kim (Dean Stockwell) is employed by Mahbub Ali (Errol Flynn), an English spy who masquerades as a horse trader. Kim meets a Tibetan lama (Paul Lukas) and agrees to help him find a sacred river. When it is discovered that Kim has British ancestry in his blood, from his father, he is sent to school. Ali, however, is convinced that the boy has the makings of a great spy. Now educated and trained, Kim has a lot of responsibility thrust upon him.

The result is a talky film with too little action.

A long, spotty but spectacular adventure, based on the Rudyard Kipling novel. Small boys, I notice, seem to relish it, and there are quite a few diverting moments for their elders, too.

All is plot and counterplot, hazard and heroics, and for grown-ups who have an affection for the more tender passions this plain and loveless tale from the hills is, despite its many qualifications, a trifle tedious.

B-

Bombastic, animated and lush, but hardly convincing or genuine in attitude or atmosphere.

Fine later Flynn, pairing him with brilliant child actor Dean Stockwell.

A different India adventure. Flynn was good, but perhaps because he was in a supporting role.
