Trivia
This was the fourth film in three years in which Yul Brynner and Trevor Howard appeared. The others were Morituri (1965), The Poppy Is Also a Flower (1966) and Triple Cross (1966).

Goofs
The machine gun used in the ambush and captured by Sultan appears to be a Vickers. It is missing the water-cooling equipment that was essential for its operation. Without this equipment, it would overheat and jam quickly.

Quotes
Young: I don't dislike your father - I just think he's wrong in some of his attitudes.
Jane: Oh?
Young: Like a good many of them who've been here a few years. They're well-intentioned, they've managed to keep stability in the country so far, but basically they think the Indians are a bunch of no-goods.

Red turbans versus black ones.

The adventure yarn as it used to be a long long time ago.There's the proud rebel "Sultan" (Brynner) who's fighting against the English (represented by a loyal brave generous officer-Howard- and a villain one -Andrews-).And Andrews looks the part ! As the case often happens,to hear the scenarists ,if a father is wicked,then the daughter is adorable:she's played by a decorative Charlotte Rampling ,who tells Howard -whom she's in love with of course-:"one day ,Sultan and you ,you will meet".Main interest remains the splendor of the landscapes.
