Paul Robeson, Leslie Banks and Nina Mae McKinney star in this classic adaptation of Edgar Wallace's celebrated adventure story set in British Colonial Nigeria. A box-office triumph that earned director Zoltan Korda the first of his four nominations for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival, Sanders of the River is featured in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.Determined to maintain peace in the river district of West Africa, British Commissioner Sanders works closely with Bosambo a probationary chief who, under Sanders' orders, frees a slave convoy sent by another chief, King Mofolaba. Bosambo marries Lilongo, the most beautiful slave, but when Sanders goes on leave King Mofolaba attacks and captures Bosambo's wife. When his attempts to rescue her end in capture as well, all seems lost...SPECIAL FEATURES:[] Image Gallery[] Promotional Material PDF Review: Classic - DVD of a classic old film “Sanders of the river” excellent digital version of a 1930’s masterpiece. Review: Fascinating - Entertaining viewing, loved the jerky camera work and grainy quality of the film. I was more interested from an historical aspect, of how the British colonials behaved and treated the indigenous populations, under the yoke of imperialism. Lots of clipped RP accents spoken by the officers as you’d expect. It’s also worth bearing in mind that most of the attitudes expressed are a reflection of that period. Paul Robeson was reported to have disassociated himself from any involvement with the film later on in his career.

In the bin!
Watched about 25 mind numbing minutes and then binned it. Awful, zero stars really. An embarrassing mess. After Paul Robeson wiggling his half naked backside and cheerily singing a "lovely" song about slashing, shooting, stabbing the enemy...had enough. I like old films, but this was HORRIBLE. Maybe it would have got better, but didn't wait to find out.

A great film!
This the multi-language version, so when loading watch for the language selection menu. My interest in this film stems from my having been in The Northern Rhodesia Police and also knowing Michael Mataka who was the first African Police Commissioner after Independance.

Sanders of the River
Sanders of the River was produced in 1935 and the film quality reflects this age. The acting depicts that of colonial times past. Despite the flaws which includes the singing scenes, the film does represent a colonial view of Africa in 1935.

his rendition of the theme song still sounds great. It remains one of the best OTT movies ...
A classic which must be viewed in the contexts of the period of which the Edgar Wallace novel on which it is based was written and of when the film was made. Although Paul Robeson regretted in later years that he had agreed to make it, his rendition of the theme song still sounds great. It remains one of the best OTT movies on the British Empire.
