I’m trying to remember, but Basil Rathbone played an evil Indian prince, and deliveried a line like:" yes, life is sweet and good when one cannot have it…"-what was the rest?
Anybody know?
It’s a fairly obscure movie from the 1930’s-I think David Niven was in it.
It’s right there on the quotes page on IMDB - The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) - Quotes - IMDb
Surat Khan: Oh, so it was Captain Randall who so imprudently attempted to penetrate the line? Poor fellow! He paid the penalty for his foolishness!
Maj. Geoffrey Vickers: [Taken aback] He’s… he’s dead?
Surat Khan: Oh, my friend, life is sweet and dear when one cannot have it! That’s why I sent for you.
But Surat Khan was played by C. Henry Gordon, not Basil Rathbone.
