Jungle Book (film)



Jungle Book (or Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book) is a 1942 film directed by Zoltan Korda, loosely based on Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book and starring Sabu as Mowgli.

Sabu had also previously starred in Korda's Elephant Boy, which was based on one of the non-Mowgli stories in The Jungle Book.
