I am not sure I would agree it was one of the best ever but it sure was a good one.

There were so many similar movies made in the 30s about the British in India that I get them confused. I know there was at least one with Shirley Temple. They were all pretty good.

It’s Kipling.
Nobody could replace Kipling.

Just a little kid the first time I saw Gunga Din on TV and
it remains one of my all time favorites. At one time I
took the trouble to memorize the Kipling poem that the movie
was based on.

I think my favorite scene is when McChesney is going after the fly in the punch bowl.

I do believe that in one of “The Killer”s (Jerry Lee) songs, he sings, “Hangin’ in like Gunga Din”. I use that particular phrase a lot, myself.

It is a great film.
Kipling was one of a kind, and Hollywood got this one right.

Gunga Din was on Turner Movie Classics the other day -
think it was that station.
I’ll watch it over and over.

This time I fell asleep before it ended - not because of the movie.
It’s just that time of life where a nap comes easily sometimes - - -
Wonder what else I’m missing - - -
