Having just viewed this film again after seeing it on it's initial release in 1962, my first thoughts were how much better this could have been, I found the location scenery was quite superb and the Billy May background music with it's continuing theme was nice to listen to. But the usual antics of the Pack distracted from the general storyline. The fight scenes were comical, not funny, and seemed overlong as were the battle scenes. It was worth a viewing though just to see the whole Clan together, but a little more effort from all would have made it better for me. I have never seen the film Gunga Din on which this is reported to be based, so I can make no comparison between the two efforts.
