Colorful live-action version of the Rudyard Kipling classic. The story is about a boy raised by wolves who tries to adapt to life with humans. I grew up with the Disney animated film so I suppose that will always be "my" Jungle Book but I still enjoyed this film very much. Great-looking sets, beautiful technicolor, well-directed action scenes, fine Miklos Rosza score, and a solid cast make this a highly enjoyable movie. Sabu is perfectly cast as Mowgli. Great character actors Joseph Calleia, John Qualen, and Frank Puglia all play parts unlike anything else I've ever seen them in and they do quite well. It's a really fun adventure film with lots of heart.
