Reviews
“With its rich production, magnificent marine photography, admirable direction and performances, the film brings vividly to life every page of Kipling's novel and even adds an exciting chapter or two of its own.”
– The New York Times
“One of MGM's powerhouse moralizing family entertainments, it's beefy and rousing, with almost guaranteed tears and laughter for children.”
– Pauline Kael
