• Plot: 'You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.' ; ; In that same vein, fans of classic action-adventures won't find any better film that this exhilarating tale, directed by George Stevens. ; ; Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. star as cheeky soldiers of Queen and Empire who never run short of battlefield gallantry and chin-up heroics as they combat a murderous sect in colonial India. ; ; Stevens skillfully orchestrates teeming battle sequences and boisterous humor. And Sam Jaffe memorably plays the title role of the lowly water-bearer who yearns to be a soldier...and seizes the chance to prove his mettle. ; ; The years go by, but the fact remains: Gunga Din is 'the Hollywood action-adventure yarn' (Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide).
