Critic Reviews
-
Frank S. Nugent, New York Times
The film moves leisurely, but with rare charm and visual interest.
-
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fiction and documentary footage rub shoulders uneasily, but the latter (shot by Flaherty in India) is vividly watchable.
-
Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Robert Flaherty's craftsmanship shows in one of his best Hollywood features.
-
Douglas Pratt, DVDLaser
Robert Flaherty joined forces with Zoltan Korda to produce the terrific adventure film, based upon a Rudyard Kipling tale.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide
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.
