Wallis parvient à ses fins en imaginant un engin cylindrique de cinq tonnes qui, lâché à une vitesse précise et une distance bien déterminée, rebondira par ricochets sur la surface de l'eau pour couler au pied du barrage. Après plusieurs tentatives infructueuses sur des maquettes, Wallis réussit à faire adopter son projet par la R.A.F. grâce à l'intervention du général Arthur Harris. Aidé du commandant Whitworth, le lieutenant-colonel Gibson, à la tête d'un imposant groupe d'aviateurs, met au point la technique très délicate du bombardement...

Storm Over Bengal
5.2

Storm Over Bengal

Nov 14, 1938
This being a Republic picture, it should come as no surprise that Storm Over Bengal was filmed in its entirety in the San Fernando Valley. Within its concise 65 minutes, the film manages to accommodate a Bengal Lancers main plot, a romantic subplot, the obligatory coward who makes good, intrigue aplenty from a villainous Indian potentate, and an outsized climactic battle between the rebels and the British forces. Patric Knowles, previously one of the leads in the British-India epic Charge of the Light Brigade, heads the cast. Worth noting is the presence in the cast of Richard Cromwell as secondary romantic lead Neil Allison and Douglass Dumbrille as the despicable Khan. Three years earlier, Cromwell had been tortured by Dumbrille's minions in Lives of a Bengal Lancer, and he undergoes much the same treatment here-"just to make him feel at home" observed film historian Roger Dooley.
