Gewehre für Bengali (1954)

Gewehre für Bengali: Directed by Laslo Benedek. With Rock Hudson, Arlene Dahl, Ursula Thiess, Torin Thatcher. Set during British India 1857, Captain Clayboune (Rock Hudson) is faced with restoring his reputation after being harshly disciplined for disobeying orders.

“The first couple of years of the decade, Rock Hudson was just breaking into the business, playing bit parts or Indian chiefs. Within a couple more years, he was headlining movies, but not all of them were great. If you doubt that, you obviously havenu0026#39;t rented The Golden Blade, Sea Devils, or Captain Lightfoot yet. I wasnu0026#39;t able to get through any of those, but I did manage to sit through Bengal Brigade, solely because it was Rock Hudsonu0026#39;s time as Star of the Week and I thought I owed it to him to review at least one terrible movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story of this one is intriguing, but itu0026#39;s executed so poorly, itu0026#39;s just not worth watching unless Rock Hudson is your favorite actor or celebrity boyfriend and you want to watch all of his movies. Rock is a soldier in the British army in occupied India during the 1800s. He disobeys an order during a battle and gets court-martialed. After a harsh reprimand, he resigns from the army and makes it his personal mission to redeem himself and prove that heu0026#39;s not a disgrace to his country. Along the way, he tries to infiltrate among Indian rebels and reassure his fiancé Arlene Dahl that his feelings havenu0026#39;t changed, even though he canu0026#39;t marry her just yet. Seriously, folks, this is not another Four Feathers. This is a B-picture from the u0026#39;50s, and if youu0026#39;ve ever sat through one of those, you know that you donu0026#39;t want to make a habit of it.”
