Trivia for Sanders of the River (1935) 

Some of the wonderful looking shots of African river scenes were in fact filmed on the River Thames at Shepperton.





This film had originally started as a project Alexander Korda assigned to be directed by Alfred Hitchcock, called
"Wings of the Jungle". Hitchcock was only minimally involved in the earliest stages.





Jomo Kenyatta, who was President of Kenya from 1963 to 1978, had a bit part in this movie as a tribal chief.





Paul Robeson disowned this picture, telling journalists that it was the only one of his films to have been screened in
Italy and Germany. However, his claim to have walked out of the premiere in disgust was a re-invention of history.

Instrument Of Enforcement, 19 May 2009





Author:  Buffalo, New York 



Viewed today, 74 years after the film came out Sanders Of The River is a paradoxical film with the good and bad of
British colonial attitudes of the 19th century. It's based on the first novel by Edgar Wallace, prolific British author
who spent much time in Africa during the latter 19th and early 20th century.



Sanders played by Leslie Banks is the local administrator of an area of what is now Nigeria and a man who is confidently
shouldering the white man's burden as he saw it. Nevertheless he's probably the best representative of his type in the
area, someone the British see as the best in themselves.



He's taken the trouble to study the languages and cultures of the various tribes in his area and mixes in the local
politics judiciously and fairly. When one of the tribal kings, Tony Wane, starts resorting to the slave trade which the
British fought vigorously to suppress, Banks comes up with his own instrument of enforcement.



His instrument is rival king, Paul Robeson of a different tribe and on that the plot of Sanders Of The River turns. 



Robeson was over in the United Kingdom at the time because he could not get the kind of film roles he wanted in the USA
with America hung up on stereotypical blacks. Though the film is a salute to the judiciousness and fairness of British
colonial role, Robeson took the part because I believe it gave him a chance to show the real Africa. There is no way
America was ever going to make this kind of film. After MGM's near disaster with Trader Horn, American companies shied
from location shooting until there until The African Queen and King Solomon's Mines.



Though taking place in the Nigeria area, the film was shot on location in the Kenya colony and we learned that the first
Kenyan president, Jomo Kenyatta actually was an extra in this film. Robeson gets a chance to sing a couple of songs
written by Mischa Spoliansky and Arthur Winder, but are as good in the black idiom as Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. No way
Paul Robeson would have sung them if they weren't.



Robeson is joined in the vocal department by Nina Mae McKinney who scored big in King Vidor's Hallelujah, but was then
unable to find decent roles for a beautiful black singer. That would wait until Lena Horne came on the scene and not
altogether satisfactorily done there. She plays Robeson's wife and mother of his child and her capture by the rival king
sets off a potentially nasty blood bath.



Sanders Of The River though incredibly dated should be seen quite frankly because of that. Robeson's singing voice is at
its best here and this is a picture of Africa you won't get in Tarzan films. 





Ripping Yarn, 3 November 2008



Author:  from Australia





Paul Robeson is the star in this Ripping Yarn, with the British keeping the 'picaninnies' under control in Nigeria. 



A number of pastoral African scenes of the National Geographic variety (if you know what I mean) are included in this
story of the conflict between two tribes in the African heartland. 



Don't believe the undergraduate comments here - this is nowhere near as racist as the B grade American films made in the
same era ("The Jazz Singer" for instance, and it's ilk), or TV series of the fifties - the Africans are dead
glamorous and brave, and the British characters wooden and two-dimensional.

"Sandi the Brave, Sandi the Wise, Righter of Wrongs, Hater of Lies!", 28 May 2007



Author: from London, England





Although a source of much embarrassment (and biographical revisionism) to Paul Robeson in later years, by the standards
of its day Sanders of the River isn't quite as obnoxiously racist as you might think. Unlike American films of the
period, it's more patronising than openly defamatory and while he's hardly a role model, Robeson's convict-turned-king
plays a more central role in the plot than Leslie Banks condescendingly paternalistic British commissioner ("Sandi
the Brave, Sandi the Wise/Righter of Wrongs, Hater of Lies!"). But then, you don't expect subtlety from a story by
Edgar Wallace, who many blamed for the collapse of peace talks during the Boer War because of his salacious invented
newspaper stories of Boer atrocities.



As a film it holds together fairly well, with the extensive and often spectacular location footage of Africa and
Shepperton riverside (all too obviously shot with stand-ins for the two stars) compensating for the Victor Herbert
operetta style songs given to Robeson ("Let the rivers rattle/Onwards into battle/Make them flee like
cattle").

Paul Robeson as a tribal chief in Colonial Nigeria sings some songs and helps quell lawlessness., 1 November 1998



Author: from Pine Grove, California





Although the title refers to the British commissioner of the N'Gombi district of Nigeria during the Colonial days of the
British Empire, Paul Robeson's magnificent rich baritone voice is easily the highlight of this well-made but dated film.
Looking at it from the 90's perspective, I was appalled to see the native blacks treated as savages and children at the
same time. Paul Robeson expected a different kind of film and unsuccessfully fought its release after it was completed.
Leslie Banks plays Commissioner Sanders, called "Lord Sandy" by the natives, and oversees the various
competing and sometimes hostile tribes. In the last five years, there has been peace among the tribes due mostly to the
respect and fear of him. Robeson is a prison escapee who has been chief of the Ochuri tribe for the last five months, an
illegal act without permission from Banks. He goes to Banks to claim that chiefdom, and Banks, knowing who he really is,
and sensing he is a good man, proclaims him chief on the basis of those last five months. It pays off when word comes
that Chief Mofolaba (Tony Wane) has been raiding other tribes to gather slaves, and Banks has Robeson and his warriors
capture him and free those captives. It's a humiliation that Mofolaba swears he will revenge. Among the captives is
lovely Nina Mae McKinney, who Robeson takes for his wife, and who bears him two children during the next five peaceful
years. When Banks decides to take a year's leave of absence to return to London to get married, two villains spread the
word that Banks is dead and there is now no law. They expect to profit by selling guns and gin to the natives. Mofolaba
kills Banks' replacement and has his men kidnap McKinney to use as bait to lure Robeson to his land so he can have his
revenge. Meanwhile, word gets to Banks, who hasn't yet left for London, about his replacement's death and the general
lawlessness that now prevails, and he starts to return to Mofolaba's land. And Robeson takes Mofolaba's bait, but is
captured and tied to a post next to the post that McKinney is tied to. Mofolaba promises him a slow death after he
witnesses McKinney's death.
