About this product

Product Information

Tony Richardson's revisionist version of the oft-filmed romance of empire stars Trevor Howard as the arrogant Lord Cardigan. In 1854, the leading officers of the British military seek an opportunity for military glory, Cardigan chief among them. He plans on taking a military force into the Crimean region of Turkey, with the ostensible purpose of protecting the Ottoman Empire from an invading Russian army. Lord Cardigan and his army set sail for Turkey, and, en route, he becomes involved in a dispute with Captain Nolan (David Hemmings), an officer recently returned from India who questions the actions of the high command. Despite substandard rations and a cholera epidemic, the British score a quick victory over Russian troops before its leaders fall into inertia and confusion. The nearly senile Lord Raglan (John Gielgud) temporizes while Cardigan is distracted by the charms of Miss Duberly (Jill Bennett), the paymaster's wife. When the Battle of Balaclava begins, the combination of pompous stupidity in Whitehall's state men and incompetent officers on the battlefield results in Cardigan's taking his fabled Light Brigade down the wrong valley and directly into the heart of the Russian artillery. A comment on America's involvement in Vietnam, Richardson's satire on military and political blundering features an excellent cast and exceptionally convincing battlefield photography by David Watkin.

    Get a charge out of this Light Brigade

    I had only caught part of this movie on cable, so was glad to see it in its entirety, even if I had to buy it. Not sure how much of the script is fiction, but it's surely more convincing than the earlier production starring Errol Flynn. I found the script and the overall production here to reflect characteristics of "Gone With The Wind". As it is now fresh in my mind, I won't view it again for some time, not until I have a hankering to ride once again in a suicidal 19th century British cavalry charge.

    Not one of the good antiwar films of the '60's

    Douse it with gasoline and light a match. I got this to get a better sense of the cause of the battle beyond "misunderstood order" but that's right where I am still. If you want a good (if fictional) antiwar film, try "Paths of Glory".

    The Reason Why

    This movie, when first made in 1968, was considered to be mainly an anti-war film, as opposition to the war in Vietnam was escalating. Today, with the war in Iraq becoming a second Vietnam, it deserves another look. Historically, the movie does capture the characters and events surrounding the famous ill-fated charge during the Crimean War. Credited as the major source is the excellent book by Cecil Woodham-Smith "The Reason Why" (the title of the book is taken from the line in Tennyson's poem about the Charge: "Theirs was not to reason why, theirs was but to do or die."). The film gives accurate portrayal to British army recruiting, training and discipline, while demonstrating the vast gulf between the aristocratic officers and the enlisted men. Costumes, including a wide variety of ...

    Realistic, unique and satiric depiction of a famous military blunder!

    Very entertaining film about a famous military blunder. It combines live action and drama with cartoons illustrating both political and military satire. The movie demonstrates how the incompetence of those charged with making critical decisions can cost the lives of hundreds. It also gives the viewer an inside look at the bureacracy and harshness of the British Army of the period. The realism of the military campaign as depicted is also commendable. This was no grand adventure--this was war! An excellent addition to any film historian's dvd library...

    Unusual film with more of a whimper than a bang in its ending.

    Prompt service for a film that appeals to historians and film enthusiasts. Like so many films worthy of extras that are not included, the film must be engaged where it stands and not necessarily where the audience might have wished it to be located.
