### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sabu in The Drum
*by G***S on July 7, 2017*

The Director, Zoltan Korda produced a classic movie during the 1930s that stars Sabu, "In The Drum" equal to the magnificence of the Jungle Book. As a young boy, I viewed this movie the first time. Although fiction, this DVD serves as a historical novel about the Era of the British Raj, the British known as Sahibs, The settings of Peshawar, the tribal territory of 12 tribes, the Northwest Frontier, Tokot the capitol of one of the frontiers, and the Northwest Frontier. Although the viewing quality of the film had problem episodes, it had the effect of the dreams of my youth about India, and Afghanistan known as the graveyard of Empires. The military conflicts are similar in our present age, but the difference is the United Nations and other Nations are not empires, and face the same similar problems as the past. The movie is a reminder of works by Rudyard Kipling and I am so pleased to have The Drum in my DVD collection. For the boy in any one - young or old, this DVD is a return to a past era that can help to understand the present and worthy of family viewing. Well done Korda - a producer from that culture can create what other may overlook. Worthy of the 5-star rating!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Film; Very Poor Transfer
*by B***N on July 14, 2010*

9/27/10 Update: I just received the fce release of this film The Drum (1938) purchased from Amazon. While not up to Criterion standards, the video quality is noticeably better than this PRS release. It's also less expensive. In spite of what the product listing says, however, the DVD has the the 93 minute version of the film.Original Review:The drum was one of my favorite films as a kid, but I've not watched it for many years. I was very pleasantly surprised by how well the film has held it. I would certainly rank it among the best of the British Army in India films made from the 1930s though the 1950s.Unfortunately, the quality of the PRS DVD release is extremely poor. The problem seems to be in the process of transferring the film to DVD; the print of the film from which the DVD was scanned is decent quality for a Technicolor film that is more than 70 years old.Virtually every image on the DVD contains significant numbers of very distracting video artifacts, the more movement there is in the scene, the more artifacts there are. (The artifacts are similar to what you get if you to enlarge a JPEG image much above its original size.) I'm not a DVD expert, but the problem seems to be excessive digital compression.One can only hope that some other company will produce a decent quality DVD of the film at some point, ideally the full 104 minute original release. (The PRS version is 92 minutes.)
