The Charge of the light Brigade - La carga de la brigada Ligera - Michael Curtiz - Errol Flynn.

Difficult to purchase in the UK, I welcomed the opportunity to purchase a copy from an overseas seller. Although the packaging is in Spanish, and the DVD has Spanish subtitles, they can be switched off. For years, this Errol Flynn classic has been one of my favourite all time films. Full of action, with a very strong love interest at the core centre of the story; two brothers love the same woman played by the lovely Olivia de Havilland. Most of the action takes place on the north-west frontier of India with British forces being threatened by a local tribesman, Surit Khan, whose life is once saved by a British officer played by Errol Flynn. After a British garrison is massacred by Khan's tribesmen, the action moves to the Crimea where Khan has taken refuge with Russian forces at Balaclava. The story culminates in the famous Charge along the Valley of Death where Russian lines are broken, albeit with terrible loss to British forces.Although historically inaccurate, it doesn't matter because, after all, it is just a great action movie. The only downside of the film is that during the filming of the charge, many horses were killed or seriously injured owing to trip wires being used. This led to the film industry being banned from using such devices in future films.Still, it is a great film to watch, the DVD has good picture and sound bearing in mind the film's age. I do think however, it should be more freely available for purchase in the UK, perhaps even on Blu-Ray.

Just as I remembered it having loved it but not seen in many yrs it was a pleasure to get to see it again xx

Very good when You have found the right setting, brill film.

Every young budding actor should study Errol Flynn, his rich gentle voice and the elegance in his walk and the way he moves is sheer magic.Can not think of one leading man these days to touch him, he had it all and serious acting chops as well, well ahead of his time.Don't let the age of these films put you off, they are stunning films and he is worth getting to know.Recently saw the SeaHawk, and he just gets better.If you want to see one of the "best entrances" in a film ever watch Robin Hood. When he walks through the door of the banquet hall with that deer over his shoulders, I tell you - your knees will start to shake!Let these films be your Sat/Sun afternoon matinee and it will make your day.

Excellent copy of a hard to come by film. Thank you very much!

Fantastic

Worth waiting for

Still a classic film from early era of Hollywood

És la versión en blanco y negro de la película, ósea la original no la coloreada. Pero igualmente es mi película preferida.

Pure Nostalgia! I am a fan of Errol Flynn. When I was young I did see his films in the Cinema. And I enjoyed them very much.

Alter Film gut kopiert. Leider nicht in deutscher Sprache erhältlich.

MUY SATISFECHO.

El actor es un icono de las películas de aventuras, siendo esta la mas representativa que realizo el actor en su carrera
