Reviews:

I didn’t find entertainment watching this ‘Jungle Book’. I will say, as many others have, colour-wise it looks real neat.

I’m admittedly not a huge fan of any adaptation of this classic story yet, though do thoroughly enjoy the 1994 and 2016 versions; as well as liking the 1967 animated attempt, of course. This 1942 film is my least favourite so far.

The way it is all told didn’t interest me all that much. The stuff with the animals looks – welfare concerns aside – good, but what hampers it most in my opinion is that it puts heavy focus on the humans. I didn’t feel satisfied watching any of the onscreen talent. The performances of Sabu (Mowgli), Joseph Calleia (Buldeo) & Co. didn’t do anything for me. There’s also, as you might expect, inappropriate casting/make-up.

It’s not a terrible film, just one of those that drags as it never excites or intrigues – for me, at least.

A British lady is shopping in a marketplace when she happens upon a storyteller who is regaling his listeners with a tale of adventure: an infant “Mowgli” (Sabu) wanders off from his crib into the jungle; his parents seek him out but his father falls prey to the deadly tiger “Shere Khan” and in all the confusion the child is lost. He finds himself in a cave with wolves who treat him as one of their own and he is reared to young manhood as a child of the wilderness. His curiosity starts to get the better of him, however, and he is drawn to the village of people. When he dares to go in, he is captured and adopted by a lady who takes care of him much to the chagrin of local hunter “Buldeo” (Joseph Calleia) who bides his time until he can deal with this young man. “Mowgli” seeks to avenge himself on the tiger and so buys a “tooth” (knife) and sets off into the jungle for some hand-to-hand combat; he also discovers an huge treasure in an abandoned temple and the scene is set for his final battle with his greedy nemesis. This is the original live-action film: the use of real animals creates a wonderfully genuine effect; the colours are vivid and the story of compassion, love, avarice, treachery and recklessness is told in a wonderfully simple, yet engaging fashion. Sabu never was the best actor to grace our screens, but in this he is authentic and charming and the outdoor settings create the perfect backdrop for this super story.

Best Version of Kipling Tale Put To Film.
A young child wanders off into the woods and is lost. With the dangerous, bloodthirsty tiger Shere Khan lurking about, the little boy is adopted by wolves and raised in the jungle. Later embroiled in a jungle feud with Shere Khan, the partly grown boy is driven out of the jungle back into the world of man where he seeks a tooth (a knife) with which he can once and for all strike down his arch nemesis. However the world of man offers many unseen dangers and man isn’t inclined to follow those laws of the jungle to which the animals abide.

Personally I feel this is the best adaptation of the “Jungle Book” Rudyard Kipling story put to film. I prefer this over the Disney versions because it never fully loses sight of its overall message, doesn’t fail to show the key differences between man and beast, and isn’t bogged down by comedy or musical distraction. It’s also fun and adventurous, boasts real animals in the familiar roles who give surprisingly believable performances. Lead Sabu as Mowgli is a natural to the role while character actor Joseph Calleia does quite well as lead villain Buldeo. Calleia made quite a career out of playing such roles. By far the silliest moments here have got to be the result of the talking snakes with the human voices. They are the only critters in the film to talk in such a fashion. While the information they relay is vital to the plot of the movie, I’m not sure we really needed to actually hear it spoken aloud. Also the romantic subplot doesn’t quite fit in the story either and that it’s introduced and never resolved is somewhat disappointing. Still at the end of the day, you want jungle adventure excitement done right, you won’t go wrong with 1942’s Jungle Book.

I feel young again!
This is probably the first movie I have seen. That is the reason why I want to write about it. Every time I watch this movie I remember when I was just a child. I loved this movie and I still do.

The Jungle Book is one of the first color movies ever made and you can see that… but that doesn`t matter because the level of entertainment is so high. Actors in this movie are great but so is the staging.. and matter a fact so is everything else. It is not hard to believe that this picture got a few oscar nomination.

After all, excellent movie and lot of nostalgia… at least for me.
