Elephant Boy (1937) [Adventure] [Drama] [Family]
If you like this movie and our channel, please subscribe: goo.gl/0qDmXe | Elephant Boy is an adventure film starring Sabu in his film debut. Documentary filmmaker Robert J. Flaherty, who produced some of the Indian footage, and supervising director Zoltan Korda, who completed the film, won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival. The film was made at the London Films studios at Denham, and in Mysore, India, and is based on the story "Toomai of the Elephants" from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (1894).
The movie ist about Toomai (Sabu), a young boy growing up in India, who longs to become a hunter. In the meantime, he helps his mahout (elephant driver) father with Kala Nag, a large elephant that has been in their family for four generations. Petersen (Walter Hudd) hires the father and Kala Nag, among others, for a large annual government roundup of wild elephants to be tamed and put to work. Amused by Toomai and learning that he has no one but his father to look after him, Petersen allows the boy to come too. Strangely, no elephants have been seen in the region in a while, so Petersen has staked his reputation on a guess that they will be found further north. However, six weeks of hunting prove fruitless. He is ready to give up, but his right-hand man, Machua Appa (Allan Jeayes), persuades him to keep hunting for another month. When the other hired natives learn of Toomai's ambition, they mock him, telling him that he will become a hunter only when he sees the elephants dance (a myth).
One night, Toomai's father spots a tiger prowling near the camp and wakes Petersen. When the two go out to shoot the beast, Toomai's father is killed. Kala Nag's grief becomes so intense, he rampages through the camp, only stopping when Toomai calms him down. Petersen decides to assign cruel Rham Lahl (Bruce Gordon) to Kala Nag, as Toomai is too young for the job. When Rham Lahl beats the elephant, however, Kala Nag injures his tormenter. The mahout insists that Kala Nag be destroyed, as is the law. Petersen manages to get him to change his mind and accept 100 rupees instead by threatening to have him removed from the safety of the camp.
Unaware of this reprieve, Toomai takes Kala Nag and runs away into the jungle. There, they stumble upon the missing wild elephants, and Toomai sees them dancing. He leads Petersen to them. The other natives are awed, and hail him as "Toomai of the Elephants". Machua Appa offers to train the boy to become a hunter, a plan Petersen approves of.

    Gee, (Robert Young) Jim Anderson was nice to marry 'Margaret' after the bad stuff she did in this movie. I hope Betty, Bud and Kathy never knew what a ho their mom was. :) If you've ever driven one of the old "lead sleds", you know what a miracle it is that they could speed around a corner without flying out of control. The '76 Lincoln Mark V I restored weighed a bit over 5,000 pounds-more than 2 tons of Chrome and sturdy metals- yet a good pair of shocks made it as safe as one of my sporty cars. It's a shame this was so low budget- with good audio, lighting and all the other magic that makes a quality movie, this would be pretty popular, IMO. TY!

    A lot of fans here like Johnny Weissmuller more, but Johnny worked for a studio that had a lot more money. Herman Brix had to do a lot of his own stunts, and he and the other actors in this movie ended up not getting paid for their work. Herman Brix (later known as Bruce Bennett) was a classy family man and later appeared in a number of movies with Humphrey Bogart.
