John Ford is arguably the last person you would expect to direct this film, but it was simply part of his contract with Darryl Zanuck’s 20th Century-Fox that he occasionally took on a commercial project, and that became this adventure film in which four very British sons travel the world to clear their father’s name. A decent story with action, humor, and romance, but certainly not essential viewing for Ford fans, featuring alongside established names like C. Aubrey Smith and Reginald Denny four young guns who would all win an Oscar between 1944 and 1958 – Barry Fitzgerald, Loretta Young, George Sanders, and David Niven. The four men in the title are George Sanders, Richard Greene, David Niven, and William Henry, but just as important is Loretta Young, who has squeezed herself in between them and joins in the search just as hard—perhaps as a gesture to the female part of the audience, though that segment might have been somewhat less enthusiastic about the bloody massacre when soldiers with rifles and machine guns open fire on many revolutionaries. A remarkably brutal scene in an otherwise well-made, standard adventure film for all ages.
