The continuing story of Michel Strogoff

Made to capitalize on the huge success of "Michel Strogoff" (1956) ,this not bad sequel owes nothing to Jules Verne but the hero's proper noun .Exit Nadia (who ,however ,did marry Michel at the end of the first film and the novel)who is not even mentioned .

Actually the screenplay bears a distant resemblance to Hathaway's "lives of a Bengal lancer": the inexperienced young officer (Pierre Massimi ,whose part resembles that of Richard Cromwell in the 1935 classic), the tough but wise guy (Strogoff ,played by Curd Jurgends ,who,like Gary Cooper,comes to his rescue),the attractive deceitful mysterious lady (Capucine ).....

It's an action-packed sequel and it features enough twists to sustain interest till the ending;for a sequel,that's still good value.
