The Drum is an opulent Technicolor "British India" epic, based on a story by A.E.W. Mason (of Four Feathers fame). Teenaged actor Sabu stars as a young East Indian prince educated in England.

One of the most fascinating and entertaining asides in British cinema, Sabu is just meta-colonial enough to maintain relevance.
Rousing and lavish Technicolor old-fashioned adventure story.
Drums is an amazing. The locations of the film is amazing and beautiful. Raymond Massey and Roger Livesey give great performances. However, Sabu steals the show. The movie, Drums, is a must see if you like action/adventure films
