I'm searching the title of an old war/espionage movie. All I remember is here.
PRODUCTION:
English or American film from the 40s-60s, in color.
PLOT:
In India, during the XIX century, an English officer recruits a local boy (maybe orphan) aged 12-14 to serve as spy, and trains his memory. In one scene they visit a museum full of old weapons and artifacts and as soon as they arrive to the last room, the guy turns the look to a wall and repeats the list of everything they saw. Then the guy goes to join a group of rebels in the mountains or the desert. The movie goes on but I don’t remember the rest.
TONE:
Very old fashion drama. The English are the good, the others the bad. Cameras are still, people don’t usually move, dialogues are dry and rhetoric, panoramas are painted, the pace is slow, the plot is simple.
