Take Indiana Jones, mix in a little Zulu, and add a splash of The Man Who Would be King. Replace Michael Cain and Harrison Ford with Cary Grant, and what do you get? Answer - A film that stands the test of time. Grants comedic performance is totally on point, the punch bowl scene in particular having me in stitches. Based of various poems by Radyard Kiplin, this movie tells the story of three British army officers against a cult of indian strangler assassins. The eponymous Gunga Din being their water carrier (spoiler alert) who saves the day. Certainly Lucas and Spielberg deserve some plagerism claims. Temple of Doom being very near the knuckle on a few scenes!
