Editorial Review:Product Description:Rudyard Kipling's exciting tale of adventure and intrigue in colonial India is brilliantly brought to the screen. Peter O'Toole stars as the Lama a Tibetan holy man who befriends the mischievous free-spirited orphan Kim and takes him on a mystical journey. When the British Secret Service's Mahbub Ali (Bryan Brown The Thorn Birds) recruits Kim as a spy the boy must use all his cunning to foil a plot to overthrow the British regime. Torn between two cultures and two very different mentors Kim embarks on the ultimate journey - to find himself.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: NR UPC: 014381342727 Manufacturer No: HVE3427DVD

Peter O'Toole looked intoxicated throughout the movie, the wardrobe for the cast was very poor, and there were scenes with prostitutes that should not be there. Truly a disappointment and a testimonial on how modern society can destroy a classic novel.

I think this is the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. I am a huge Kim fan, and this movie is just awful. It captures none of the magic of the novel. They even made up leaden dialogue instead of using Kipling's pitch-perfect language. And why, oh why, did they choose to have everyone speaking English all the time? If you love Kim, don't watch this leaden lump of a movie. Peter O'Toole as a Tibetan monk, with a laughable rubber bald head, is absolutely dreadful, and the worst miscasting ...

As a great fan of Rudyard Kipling's great novel Kim (I have at least 5 copies, including a first edition) I watched this second movie version with interest, first on the original VHS tape and again recently on the DVD transfer.

The film is true to the book, with the focus more on the relationship between the Lama and Kim- 'friend of the world' The focus on the 'great game' around the N-E frontier of British India was scatchy but captures the essense of the time sufficiently well. It is a film every boy in the world should see.Of course, the setting is authentic too, which adds to the excitement of such a film.Ah...the adventures of boyhood!

Though less known than the 1950 Errol Flynn version, this made-for-TV adaptation of the famous Kipling story is in fact a pretty good one, being faithful to the book in spirit and in story. The main episodes of the original are not changed much, and still the film manages to realize the world of Kiping's India, where some adventure is waiting for you around the corner.
Kim, or Kimball O'Hara is the orphaned son of an Irish soldier in India, and Kim spends his time as vagabond in Lahore, where ...
