    Where to Watch

A guerrilla leader (Denise Darcel) helps a British army officer (Patric Knowles) fight natives in India. Clive: Paul Cavanagh. Jehan: George Keymas. Jowal: Joseph Mell. Unconvincing tale of 18th-century derring-do. Directed by Seymour Friedman.

India circa 1760 is the backdrop for this melodrama. Darcel, the sensuous top-heavy daughter of a slain French official, assumes the title of "The Flame" and wages a guerrilla war on villain prince Keymas, who has vowed to blow her out and get rid of the British East India Company British officer Knowles falls in love with Darcel, and together they finish off Keymas. A breezy romp back through history with a license to change the facts at will.
