Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Eleventh Lancers is most likely a reference to 11th (Prince of Wales's Own) Bengal Lancers, a regiment initially formed in 1876. It was an Indian Army regiment, not a British Army one.
- GoofsThere are many scenes in which General Melville and Colonel Rivington are the only officers wearing medal ribbons on their uniforms. All officers should be wearing their medal ribbons when in uniform.
Featured review
Still dealing with Indians
Substitute the Mexican border for the India-Afghani one and you've got the plot of several westerns I could think of. Of course we're still dealing with Indians.
Khyber Patrol is an eastern western with Richard Egan from Canada to explain his lack of British accent and he's joined their cavalry, the Indian army of the 1890s. Since the end of the Napoleonic Wars the great eastern question is to keep the Russians from infiltrating India through the Khyber Pass and kicking the British out. But we must not cross into Afghanistan and pursue the rebels into their sanctuary there.
Richard Egan is inpatient with that policy and his impatience doesn't win him too many friends. And he's got romantic problems as well as both he and Patric Knowles are courting the colonel's daughter Dawn Addams. I think you can see where this one is going.
Even in a setting before the Russian Revolution it was fashionable in the Fifties to make Russians the villains. Raymond Burr and Donald Randolph make a fine pair of Afghani villains secretly in league with the Russians to bring their brand of imperialism to their country as opposed to British.
Some things never do change.
