Poem
What's left behind the scenes
- According to the script, Kipling himself was supposed to appear at the end of the film as a chronicler of the exploits of British soldiers. The writer's widow strongly opposed his portrayal in the film, and scenes involving actor R. Sheffield (playing Kipling) had to be cut. Only in the 1980s, during the restoration of the film, did Ted Turner (who owned the rights to the old RKO films) order these scenes to be restored.
- Five screenwriters, including future Nobel laureate William Faulkner, worked to turn a hundred lines of verse into a dynamic 120-minute film. The main screenwriters, Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, based the plot not so much on Kipling's poem as on his story "Three Soldiers".
- The filmmakers managed to find a landscape resembling northern India in the Sierra Nevada. The role of Ballantyne was originally intended for Cary Grant, but he was more attracted to the figure of a treasure hunter, for which Douglas Fairbanks Jr. was invited. The final casting was decided by a coin toss thrown into the air by director Stevens.
- In 1999, "Ganga Din" was included in the National Registry of the most significant films. Despite the imperialistic prejudices of the colonial era inherent in the original material and some drawn-out scenes of military maneuvers, this film had a huge impact on the further development of the adventure genre.
