THE JUNGLE BOOK (1942) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Zoltan Korda

Written by - Laurence Stallings (based on a book by Ruyard Kipling)

Starring - Sabu, Joseph Calleia, John Qualen

"A baby boy who grows up in the jungle returns to the world filled with a species he has never known before: human beings. It starts off as an admirable production, but in the end the whole project proves to be over ambitious. Its colour photography is still admirable and some sequences gripping and entertaining, but the screenplay in particular is filled with flaws."
