From the website The Bagpipes go to the Movies:
Gunga Din - 1939 120 minutes. An RKO Radio picture, this film is directed by George Stevens and stars Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Sam Jaffe. It is the story of three happy-go-lucky British sergeants in India at the time of the outbreak of the Thugs against the English troops. It contains a piping scene in which the tunes 'Will Ye No Come Back Again' and 'Piobaireachd of Donald Dhu' are played. The rescuing 42nd Highlander replacements come just in the nick of time (while actor Sam Jaffe, playing Gunga Din is atop a golden dome) and the regiment can be heard approaching from afar to the sound of the 42nd Highlanders. The pipes return during the final funeral with 'Lord Lovat's Lament'. The piping is supposed to be very good.
The website does not appear to be maintained any longer (I've sent a couple of things in to be added and never got a reply, nor have I seen the info posted).
