I've just finished watching the classic adventure flick Gunga Din on dvd and I have to say I had forgotton just how many kilts are in the movie! They show up throughout the whole thing

Rob,

It is a pretty neat flick, maybe it is because of all the kilts

It is indeed

I've been waiting years for this to become available on disk!

As an aside, Victor McLaglen, who played Sgt. McChesney in "Gunga Din" really did serve in the British Army during the Boer War 1899-1902.

"Gunga Din" is just a fun movie to watch, and the uniforms were done well also. :mrgreen:

Check out another Kipling story made into a film, "Soldiers Three", which has a few kilts in it -- it's harder to find, though. I taped it off TV years ago.

Cheers,

Todd

Thanks for the info Todd, one of the bonus features is a commentary from some historian, can't remember
who at the moment, but it should be interesting. I'll keep my eye out for soldiers three, I do enjoy Kipling's work. 8)
