This is a classy adaptation of Lewis Bromfield's tale of the Raj. When the unhappily married "Lady Edwina" (Myrna Loy) and her rather indifferent, pompous, husband "Lord Hesketh" (Nigel Bruce) arrive in the Indian state of "Ranchipur", she meets up with her old friend "Ransome" (George Bent) who arrived many years earlier to paint the portrait of the Maharajah. Even though he's a bit of a rake, the bored "Lady Edwina" enjoys his company away from her disinterested husband - until, that is, she alights on local doctor "Maj. Rama Safti" (Tyrone Power). Now he's a character of some integrity and isn't an obvious choice to accede to her charms, but when an earthquake followed by the monsoon strikes the country, it's all hands to the pump and the two begin to bond for real. None of the characters in this film are who they appear to be, and that's what keeps it interesting. It does stretch the imagination to see Tyrone Power as an Indian doctor, but he has the charisma - and a chemistry with Loy - to just about pull it off. Bruce is having some fun as the horse-loving peer and Maria Ouspenskaya is quite effective as the childless Maharani who must find a suitable heir to their now rather decimated Kingdom. The effects - particularly during the natural disaster scenes are pretty impressive, even now - contributing well to the sense of chaos and disaster and Alfred Newman's score tops it off nicely.
