A Slice of History, Cinema Style, 26 December 1999

Just how did India become part of the British Empire? This film will
introduce you to Robert Clive, one of the great names in English history.
After viewing, a perusal of the Encyclopaedia Britannica convinced me that
essentially the film got most of the facts right. This is a colorful,
sometimes a little violent, story (empires don't come easy) which also
deals
with the political complications for men who take Big Chances.
Ronald Colman is always fun to watch. Loretta Young is beautiful, even if
her American accent gets in the way of her performance occasionally. Cesar
Romero, Colin Clive & Sir C. Aubrey Smith all have small
rolls.
The historical Clive died an opium addict and a suicide at the age of only
49. CLIVE OF INDIA shows us a little of his brilliance and
tragedy.
