In 1903 the four Sikh Infantry regiments were brought into the new Indian Army Line by adding fifty to their original numbers:-

The shaping power of Hollywood was not only apparent in the understanding of genre, but also in other aspects of production and reception. The British director of the film, J. Lee Thompson, had dreamed since childhood of being ‘an American film director’, and moved to Hollywood in the early 1960s (Chibnall, 2000, 278). The production company — Rank — had announced a policy of only producing films that had international entertainment value in 1956 and, in their determination to get films into the American market, had established Rank Film Distributors of America in 1957 to penetrate the American market and bypass the American distributors (Porter, 1997, 129). North West Frontierwas titled Flame Over Indiafor American distribution and Empress of Indiafor Australian. It starred Lauren Bacall as the American governess, investing a British adventure landscape with the glamour and modernity associated with Hollywood.Mighty Whitey: Peters and Scott both demonstrate this attitude. Scott even describes the Indians as "children" at one point.

Obviously in 1959 there was one British film star who would be man enough for that task, no, not John Mills but Kenneth More, beloved by audiences in his home nation for his good humour, unswerving sense of decency, and ability to keep his head while under pressure. Playing Captain Scott, he was ideal as the officer in whose hands the mission is safe, but the plot was not as straightforward as it might have appeared on the surface, as there were hidden depths as well as perils to be taken into account, not to mention a capable ensemble cast who were rather marvelous under the circumstances. Although often called the British Stagecoach, that was not to denigrate the quality here. I again include some pictures of the film, which are necessary to illustrate my research. These are taken with my camera pointed at my computer screen and, so, the quality is awful! Official History of Operations on the N. W. Frontier of India 1936–37.
