Review of Kim

Kim (1950)
7/10
Kim is the adventurous youth that all boys dream of becoming
29 July 2020
Keeping in mind that Errol Flynn is the marquee adventure film star, the film actually evolves around Dean Stockwell's character "Kim", a young boy who thrives on adventure and who takes many unexpected risks. Stockwell was only fourteen (14) years of age when he starred in this film opposite the established big box office film star Errol Flynn but he certainly holds his own against the seasoned veteran actor(s).

Respectful that the film was made seventy (70) years ago, this adventure film still is able to capture a viewers imagination which I attribute to the excellent scenery, desert landscapes and superb direction by Victor Saville.

I have watched the film twice and I look forward to watching it again a third time, not because I don't have a life, but because this film depicts a youth's adventurous life which all young boys (and girls) dream of.

I give the film Kim a pleasant IMDB rating of 7 out of 10.
