Star-vehicle for Shirley Temple, produced on a much grander scale than most, has the feisty youngster and her newly-widowed mother traveling to war-torn North India in the late 1800s to live with the Shirley's estranged paternal grandfather, a Colonel stationed with the British Army. Loosely adapted from a Rudyard Kipling story, with some exciting set-ups and sequences at the outset; but, sadly, the picture runs out of intriguing ideas before the finale. Director John Ford seems to lose track of the supporting characters in an attempt to resurrect the typical Shirley Temple scenario, although Cesar Romero is well-cast and memorable as Khoda Khan. Handsome, to be certain, but not one of Shirl's better efforts. ** from ****
