North West Frontier (USA: Flame Over India; Australia: Empress of India)[2] is a 1959 British Eastmancoloradventure film starring Kenneth More, Lauren Bacall, Herbert Lom, Wilfrid Hyde-White and I. S. Johar. The CinemaScope film, which was produced by Marcel Hellman, was directed by J. Lee Thompson. It was a commercial success at the British box office in 1959. The film's achievement led to J. Lee Thompson beginning his American career as a director.[3]

The film is set in the North West Frontier Province of British Raj (now within modern Pakistan). It explores the ethnic tensions within British India after Muslim rebels attack a fortress and kill a Hindu maharajah.

Plot[edit]

In 1905 on the North West Frontier of British India, a HinduMaharajah asks British ArmyCaptain Scott (Kenneth More) to take his young son, Prince Kishan, to the safety of the Governor's residence in Haserabad due to a Muslim uprising in his province. Accompanying them is the prince's governess, an American widow named Mrs. Wyatt (Lauren Bacall). They leave shortly before the rebels storm the palace and kill the prince's father.

On arrival at Haserabad, Captain Scott sees that many local Hindus and Europeans are leaving on the last train to Kalapur. The Muslim rebels soon close in and take control of the outer wall and gate beside the railway yard. The British governor tells Scott that he must take the young prince to Kalapur for his safety. In the railyard, the British captain discovers the Empress of India, an old engine with carriage cared for by its driver Gupta (I. S. Johar).

Early the next morning, Captain Scott quietly loads the passengers onto the old train. They include Mrs. Wyatt, Prince Kishan, arms dealer Mr. Peters (Eugene Deckers), British ex-pat Mr. Bridie (Wilfrid Hyde-White), Lady Wyndham (the governor's wife), two British Indian ArmyNCOs, and Dutch journalist Mr. Peter van Leyden (Herbert Lom) - or so it is believed at first; van Leyden is later discovered in reality to be a half-Dutch, half-Indonesian Muslim, with aspirations for an Islamic India, facts important to the plot. The Empress quietly freewheels down a gradient and out of the yard, but unexpectedly sounds her whistle, alerting the rebels, so Gupta engages the steam, crashing through the outer gate.

Later that morning, the train encounters a refugee train seen in the beginning of the story; everyone on board has been massacred by the rebels. Despite being told not to by Captain Scott, Mrs. Wyatt leaves the Empress and finds one survivor, a baby concealed by his mother's body.

The next morning, the train must stop because a portion of the track has been blown up. Mrs. Wyatt spots the signaling flashes of a heliograph atop a mountain summit, and everyone quickly realises that the Muslim rebels are waiting in the surrounding mountains. With track repairs barely finished by the occupants, the train gets away under a hail of rebel gunfire; Gupta is wounded but survives.

Later that day, while stopping to refill the engine's water tank, Scott walks into the pump house to find Van Leyden allowing Prince Kishan to stand dangerously close to the pump's rapidly spinning flywheel. During the night, Mr. Van Leyden again, in a sinister fashion, approaches the prince only to notice Lady Wyndham watching him.

The train reaches a bomb-damaged viaduct/bridge, although the rails remain largely intact. All the passengers carefully traverse a rail on the bridge's damaged section to alleviate extra weight on the train that will follow them. Again, Van Leyden's behaviour nearly results in the prince's death by letting him fall from the bridge. Captain Scott accuses Van Leyden of trying to kill the prince, and he places the reporter under arrest. After that, Captain Scott, under Gupta's guidance, carefully maneuvers the train across the broken bridge section.

Later, while going through a tunnel, Van Leyden uses the opportunity to overpower his guard. He uses a Maxim machine gun to hold the passengers at bay. It is now that he declares his loyalty to the Muslim cause. He is unable to kill Prince Kishnan because the boy is forward with Captain Scott in the locomotive's cab. Scott returns to the carriage with the young prince after spotting more rebel heliograph signals, but they are saved when Van Leyden is knocked off balance by a kick from Mr. Bridie. Scott pursues him onto the carriage roof but it is Mrs. Wyatt who shoots and kills Van Leyden just as he is about to kill Scott. The Muslim rebels catch up with the train on horseback but have to stop their attack when the Empress enters a two-mile-long hillside tunnel. On the other side, the train reaches the safety of Kalapur. At the station, young Prince Kishan is met by his Hindu entourage, while Gupta is taken to hospital, and Lady Wyndham is informed that her husband, the governor, is safe. On learning Prince Kishan may yet fight the British, as his father instructed him, Scott quotes Kipling ('Be thankful you're livin', and trust to your luck, And march to your front like a soldier') before he and Mrs. Wyatt leave together.

Production[edit]

Casting[edit]

In 1957, More announced he would play 'a romantic adventure' part set during the Indian Mutiny, Night Runners of Bengal.[4] This film was never made and it is likely instead More was transferred to a similar project, North West Frontier.[4]Olivia de Havilland was originally announced as the female lead.[5]

Filming[edit]

Location scenes filming in India took place at the Amber Fort, in Rajasthan. Some of the rail sequences were shot in southern Spain in the province of Granada. The area's dry arid steppe was used to portray British India. Parts of the railway, which is now abandoned, traversed the northern part of the Sierra Nevada between Guadix and Baza.[6] The bomb-damaged rail bridge that the train must cross is over the Carretera de Belerda (at 37°23′22.82″N3°11′44.44″W / 37.3896722°N 3.1956778°W). The ending used Iznalloz railway station near Barrio Primero De Mayo (at 37°23′45.27″N3°31′39.75″W / 37.3959083°N 3.5277083°W).

An article by Ray Ellis, entitled Railway Films of the Raj, published in the Indian Railway Study Group Newsletter No.9 in January 1993, states:

A large part of this film was shot on location in Spain, on the 1668 mm gauge Zafra-Huelva Railway, of the RENFE. Originally built by a British Company, the line runs parallel with the Spanish-Portuguese border, and has some spectacular bridges and some very Indian looking scenery. The little tank engine used as 'Empress of India' is one of four 0-6-0T's that was built by Kerr, Stuart and Company (works nos 713,714,715 & 725) in 1900 for the South of Spain Railway, and later RENFE 030.0209-212. The engine used was modified to look more like a locomotive filmed in India, which included the fitting of 'chopper' couplings.
For filming sequences on the sound stage at Pinewood Studios, London, full size replicas of the locomotive, rolling stock and part of the bridge were constructed, with Pinewood's usual remarkable accuracy.
Some scenes were also filmed in India using metre gauge trains, somewhere near Jaipur. These include the departure of the 'refugee' train and the scenes where the 'escape' train catches up and passes the 'refugee' train. The 'refugee' train is hauled by an OJ class 4-4-0 (built by W. G. Bagnall in 1943) and the 'escape' train is hauled by a TJ class 0-6-0T (built by Bagnell in 1942, and sent to India, despite having been ordered by a steelworks in Turkey!). This later engine was also heavily modified to look more like the modified locomotive used in Spain.

Release[edit]

The film was a major hit in the UK, being among the six most popular films in Great Britain for the year ended 31 October 1959.[7]

The film was one of seven made by Rank which were bought for distribution in the US by 20th Century Fox.[8] Lauren Bacall called it a 'good little movie .. with a stupid title' (referring to the US title, Flame Over India).[9]

Kelly1 season, 6 episodes IMDb:Lifetime aired this chilling docuseries earlier this year, revisiting allegations of abuse made by several women against the R&B star known as R. The show details Kelly’s rise to fame, his own abusive past, and how he carefully cultivated an inner circle that helped him to prey on young women, from high-school-aged fans to fellow artists like the late Aliyah. The show also follows Kelly’s current legal troubles, allegations that he’s operating a sex cult filled with underage girls, and hears testimony from Kelly’s victims, who hope he’ll see justice one day. Netflix Making A Murderer2 seasons, 20 episodes IMDb:This is one of Netflix’s most popular documentary series, and you’ll understand why after one episode. The show follows the case of Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey, who were arrested for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach.

But what initially appears to be a clear-cut case becomes much more questionable once filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi take you inside a system that seems designed to generate guilty verdicts rather than discover the truth. Wild Wild Country1 season, 6 episodes IMDb:This series from Netflix has inspired plenty of parodies since it’s release — SNL did a particularly — but the subject matter of the show is decidedly less funny. The documentary paints a portrait of controversial Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho) who became something of a God to his many followers in the 70s. Along with help from his assistant, Ma Anand Sheela, he created a community of his followers in Oregon in the early 80s, causing a scandal, one the included a mass poisoning and an assassination attempt on a U.S attorney.

CNN The Seventies1 season, 8 episodes IMDb:CNN’s ongoing decades-based documentary series provides a “remember when” account of all the major beats across US history from 1960 up to 2000. Executive produced by Tom Hanks, the series ties together reels of archival footage with interviews from scholars, celebrities, and the people who were there to give you a solid glimpse into the mindsets and emotions of the times, if not the most in-depth information on any singular topic. Episodes touch on cultural zeitgeists like the battle of the sexes or specific moments like the Watergate break-in. Ken Burns: The Civil War1 season, 9 episodes IMDb:Ken Burns is a prolific documentary maker whose style of storytelling set the standard for decades to come. 1990’s The Civil War was his first series and tied together over 16,000 archival photos from the 1860s with first-hand accounts taken from the letters of those leading the country right down to the soldiers who fought and died on the battlefield. Those that love the Ken Burns signature style displayed here will undoubtedly enjoy his other documentary series currently on Netflix like (on World War II),. Netflix Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes1 season, 4 episodes IMDb:Ted Bundy is one of the most infamous serial killers in American history, so you’d think we’d know the whole of this sociopath’s exploits by now, but this docuseries manages to find a new angle on the story of Bundy’s descent into madness.

Through confessional recordings, victims’ testimonies, and investigative reporting, the short series charts how Bundy, a handsome, educated white man, was able to deceive so many for so long, murdering young women along the way. What’s even more interesting about this series is that, while the show explores how Bundy’s crimes made him an idol for some, it also does justice by his victims, detailing their backstories and interviewing their surviving family members. Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On1 season, 6 episodes IMDb:This documentary series is the sequel to the 2015 documentary movie and investigates the rapidly expanding world of pornography in the age of the internet. From cam girls to quirky independent erotica producers to full-on porn stars, Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On explores several different facets of the industry. While the series doesn’t overtly judge its subjects, it also doesn’t shy away from asking the difficult moral questions or addressing the effects pornography has on both the people making and consuming it. Netflix Last Chance U4 seasons, 23 episodes IMDb:Last Chance U is a fascinating look at the world of college football and the young men trying to make it through into the NFL. The series focuses on East Mississippi Community College (EMCC), known both for pumping out future stars and as a place where players with bad grades or bad behavior can get a “last chance” at pulling things together and making something of themselves in the world of sports.

Even those who have no interest in football should still enjoy the individual stories told in this documentary series, which range from triumphant to heartbreaking. The Keepers1 season, 7 episodes IMDb:The Keepers is another true crime original from Netflix in the vein of Making A Murderer. Focused initially on the murder of Catholic high school teacher Sister Cathy Cesnik, the series takes viewers down a shockingly dark path into a world of sexual abuse perpetrated by those running Archbishop Keough High School in the 1960s and other members high up in the community. The Keepers paints a stark picture of a system that’s allowed powerful men to get away with horrible crimes against women — who were systematically ignored and overlooked when they attempted to get justice. BBC Planet Earth1 season, 11 episodes IMDb:This award-winning nature documentary series from David Attenborough and the BBC is probably responsible for selling more high definition televisions than any other program. Beautifully shot in the most remote corners of the globe, you won’t find a more breathtaking and awe-inspiring collection of footage out there unless watch Planet Earth 2, which unfortunately isn’t on Netflix at this time.

Here’s some good news, though: after you work your way through this 11 episode series, you can follow it up with other series from Attenborough and the BBC on Netflix like. Shot In The Dark1 season, 8 episodes IMDb:Fans of the Jake Gyllenhaal movie might be interested in this documentary series that follows around three rival ‘stringer’ crews in Los Angeles as they scour the police scanners for accidents and crimes they can potentially sell footage of to local news channels. As unusual and interesting as the subject matter is, it’s the characters and their often contentious relationships with each other that will keep you binge watching.

Jurassic survival incubation egg. Be warned, though: the show features lots of carnage and the exploitative nature of the stringer business may leave you feeling a bit sleazy for even watching. Netflix Cocaine1 season, 3 episodes IMDb:With all the dramas on Netflix about the drug trade, it’s only fair that there’s a documentary series on cocaine out there as well. Each episode of this series gives you a different look at cocaine’s effects, and of course, none of them are very good. From the Peruvian farmers who provide drug manufacturers with the coca leaves to the drug enforcers who live and die in Rio de Janeiro, there are few happy endings here. The final episode of the series pulls back to show how the drug trade has destabilized the entire country of Colombia, leaving it on the verge of constant civil war.
