Creating a proper mix of drama, comedy, and action is really the true art of these movies. It's relatively easy to make a movie that has just one tone (grim dark for example). But to make people laugh in the middle of a dramatic scene without losing the impact is much harder.

This has been the hallmark of "action" movies since the time of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" 1938 and "Gunga Din" 1939.

John Ford's Cavalry Trilogy (1948-1950) is another great example of this as well as more modern things like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Die Hard", "Lethal Weapon", and "Star Wars".

Loved Gunga Din!

I had no idea until I watched it that Cary Grant was so funny. He carried off wit quite well in other movies, North by Northwest, but I had no idea he was such a physical comedian too until Gunga Din. His younger days, I imagine.

Some of the Rudyard Kipling related movies are really interesting. He must have been quite the character with an intriguing and unique outlook. The ones I know of are The Jungle Book (1942), The Man who would be King, Gunga Din, and...Kim. I guess I've just seen the four, but they're all an interesting slice of movie.

Solid examples!
