Ганга Дин
Jadoo (uncredited)
"Ганга Дин" можно назвать "Унесенными ветром" в жанре приключенческого боевика - в нем есть всего понемногу: юмор, саспенс, зрелищность, "экшн" и хорошая доля расизма, империализма и ксенофобии. Основанный на сюжете Бена Хехта и Чарлза МакАртура по замечательному стихотворению Редьярда Киплинга, этот захватывающий приключенческий фильм повествует об уничтожении бандой туземных повстанцев отдаленного британского поста в горах Индии. Туда отправляют трех ветеранов - сержантов Каттера, МакЧесни и Бэллэнтайна. Их сопровождает небольшой отряд солдат-индусов и носильщики воды, или бхисти, включая Ганга Дина, у которого в жизни только одна мечта - стать солдатом. Вскоре сержанты получают приказ - уничтожить секту убийц Тагов, которая ранее считалась мрачной легендой прошлого.

Storm Over Bengal
Aide to Abdul Mir
This being a Republic picture, it should come as no surprise that Storm Over Bengal was filmed in its entirety in the San Fernando Valley. Within its concise 65 minutes, the film manages to accommodate a Bengal Lancers main plot, a romantic subplot, the obligatory coward who makes good, intrigue aplenty from a villainous Indian potentate, and an outsized climactic battle between the rebels and the British forces. Patric Knowles, previously one of the leads in the British-India epic Charge of the Light Brigade, heads the cast. Worth noting is the presence in the cast of Richard Cromwell as secondary romantic lead Neil Allison and Douglass Dumbrille as the despicable Khan. Three years earlier, Cromwell had been tortured by Dumbrille's minions in Lives of a Bengal Lancer, and he undergoes much the same treatment here-"just to make him feel at home" observed film historian Roger Dooley.
Windjammer
Willy
The fourth and last of the George A. Hirliman-produced films starring George O'Brien (preceded by "Daniel Boone", "Park Avenue Logger" and "Hollywood Cowboy") that were distributed by RKO Radio. Hirliman sold O'Brien's contract to RKO, which then produced 18 series westerns starring O'Brien that ended when O'Brien went into the Navy at the outbreak of WW II. Long-time (past and future) O'Brien director David Howard served as Hirliman's Associate Producer on this film. "Windjammer" finds O'Brien as a subpoena server ordered to serve a subpoena on Brandon Evans (The Commondore) for a senate inquiry or lose his job. Posing as a playboy, he boards the Commodore's yacht during a yacht race, and the yacht is wrecked by a gun-running windjammer commanded by Captain Morgan (William Hall.) All hands are picked up by the windjammer, including the Commodore's daughter (played by Constance Worth, at her blonde, plumpish best) and put to work as galley slaves.
