Ronald Colman and Loretta Young star in this historical drama/romance set in colonial India. It paints its story with large brushstrokes, telling the story of Robert Clive, who rises from ordinary servant to military genius in the blink of an eye. His wife stays home and worries if he cares more about India than her and the children. Other than some impressive battle elephants who stomp and eat people, it's pretty mushy and routine.
