About this product

Product Information

Charles Chauvel's 1940 cinematic tribute to the mounted troops of the Australian Light Horse regiments is a rousing call to arms, giving life to the heroic tales of mateship during the Great War. Best mates Red Gallagher (Grant Taylor), Jim (Chips Rafferty) and Larry (Pat Twohill) face a challenging time as soldiers in 1916. Stationed in Egypt with the promise of grand adventure, all they seem to manage is casual mischief in the Cairo nightclubs. But when German-backed Turkish forces attack British outposts in the Sinai desert, the soldiers climb into the saddle as mounted troops of the Australian Light Horse, participating in a fierce battle at Romani and on to Gaza. With fellow soldiers falling to the enemy, Red and his colleagues must overcome the odds and find the courage to contemplate one final charge a deadly assault across open ground to Beersheba. A masterful achievement of sight and sound, Chauvel staged the epic charge with 500 active members of the Light Horse and captured their dynamic assault with camera work by legendary cinematographers such as John Heyer, Tasman Higgins, Frank Hurley, Bert Nicholas and Damien Parer. Fully restored and presented in a brand new transfer, Forty Thousand Horsemen documents a most remarkable era of Australian wartime history.

As is always the case with this very reluable seller the movie arrived safely and in good time albeit at a fairly high postage price forxa local delivery. The movie was well packaged and in new condition just as described by the seller. An excellent ebay buying experience with a seller that I will continue to use.

  • Not as much action as the title

    Not quite the horse picture. Turned into a romance. Some great horse and stunt riding. Great actors but not enough development.

  • perfect title for the theme

    As an early Australian epic it was pleasing to see such great special effects. The story may be a bit hammy but it was still entertaining
