(1958) Jean Négroni, Mokhi, Uroz. Narrated by George Sanders.  Wow!  What we’ve got here is essentially a LOST George Sanders film (he did the narration for this, the AIP American edition), now on video for the first time.  It’s not listed in any of his film listings anywhere we could find—and it’s a pretty good film, too (6.2 on IMDB). This rollicking tale concerns a young adventurer’s exciting, difficult journey to Kabul, all the while being accompanied by a strange horseman...
