Clive of India

An absorbing biopic, CLIVE OF INDIA chronicles the career of Robert Clive, England's man of destiny in an India which he felt was best ruled as a British colony. Colman is a sensitive but ambitious Clive, beginning as a clerk with the manipulative East India Company and becoming the courageous warrior, tirelessly campaigning to unite the vast country under the Union Jack. There are many stirring scenes such as the incredible monsoons, a battle between cavalry mounted on elephants draped with barbed armor (in a recreation of the battle of Plassey), and the infamous Black Hole of Calcutta where prisoners of cruel Indian warlords suffocated on poisonous gasses.
