TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This was the first film for which original soundtrack recordings were issued. Previously, when record companies released music from a film, they had insisted on re-recording the music in their own studios with their own equipment. The "Jungle Book" records were taken from the same recordings used for the film's soundtrack, and their commercial success paved the way for more original-soundtrack albums.

Sabu never starred in any Indian movies, and was only in British, European and Hollywood films. He was lined up to star in Indian films, but could not get a valid work permit, because he was a naturalized US Citizen, (even though he was born in India). However, to this day, many people still regard him as an Indian movie star.

Rudyard Kipling's two Jungle Book anthologies comprise fifteen stories, four of which were used is this film: "Mowgli's Brothers," "How Fear Came," "Tiger! Tiger!" and "The King's Ankus."

Merian C. Cooper did considerable pre-production work but it was abandoned after he decided to re-enlist in the armed forces in June 1941.

Although this movie was set in India, the production was actually shot in California, USA

Popular Dialogues

"Buldeo: Verily, you would have all of India in your picture. Nay, you would have the book of the jungle to read in my eyes."

"Buldeo: What is the book of life itself but man's war with nature. The struggle between village and jungle!"
