Sandokan,
the Indian rebel leader who opposed the British regime during the
Victorian era, was the subject of several action-adventure films
of the 1960s and 1970s. Few of these efforts were completely faithful
to their source, Emilio Salgari's novel Le Tigre de Mompracem, but
all were eagerly received by European film fans. In 1976, a TV-series
version of the Sandokan legend emerged on the Continent. Kabir Bedi
played the title role in this lavishly appointed effort, which enjoyed
wide distribution (except in English-speaking countries). A feature-film
version of the TV Sandokan was prepared late in'76, then released
to American television. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
