Authentic Background
J7ILMING on Paramount’s “Lives of a Bengal Lancer," started away back in 1931, when an expedition was sent to the Afghanistan border to film sequences depicting the famous Bengal Lancers in action, and also the lives and habits of the Khyber Pass tribes, as described in Francis Yeats-Brown’s book of the same name. 'When the authentic Indian background had been obtained, a cast was carefully selected, and the leading roles assigned to Gary Cooper, Franchot Tone, Sir Guy Standing, Richard Cromwell, Kathleen Burke and Colin Tapley. The picture is a story of adventure and intrigue in the famous Bengal Lancer regiment which patrols the Khyber Pass regions, and it is confidently anticipated that, m New Zealand, it will repeat the phenomenal success which it is at present enjoying in England, America and Australia.
