East of sudan

Starring: Anthony Quayle

A trooper, a governess and others escape downriver from one of General Gordon's outposts.

A mix between Robinson Crusoe and a David Attenborough documentary with wildlife galore. The lack of location filming meant that the whole thing lacked action and drama. But fascinating to see a young Sylvia Syms, Dereck Folds and Jenny Agutter in her first ever film role.     6/10
