Zarak (1956)
A wonderful adventure movie

This movie reminds me my childhood, on Sunday afternoons, when I waited for it. Each Sunday, after my home school work. Colourful feature with plenty of charm and action, Victor Mature at his best, even a less famous film if you compare to his previous features. A movie produced by UK movie industry, in the line of BRIGAND OF KANDAHAR, BANDIT OF ZHOBE, NORTHWEST FRONTIER, and some other movies from Korda brothers's material. The pure British colonialism piece of work. A sort of trade mark, as was, in a total different way, the Kitchen Sink kind. The Ken Loach before his time.

Back to this film directed by Terry Young and produced by Albert - James Bond - Broccoli, it is not flawless, but who cares, its only purpose was to entertain. That' all.

I picked it from TCM in a superb LBX copy. I guess it will be released in DVD, as was other Columbia adventures yarns, such as BRIGAND OF KANDAHAR, and maybe some other items.
