4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic film, with a great ending, 10 Jul 2000
This is truely a great film.

Telling the story of Captain (later Major) Vickers of the 27th Lancers, who experiences the horrible massacre of women and children at a garrison city in British India. You can feel your blood boil as you watch the unarmed women and children being shot to pieces as they try to escape and the horrors the remander of the garrison finds when it returns.

After this the film moves to the Crimea for the last 30 - 20 mins of the film, although the film sadly devotes little to the war of 1854 the showing of the charge is fantastic, being played along with the poem which was soon wrote after the event.

Overall a great film which has a satisfying ending ...

I would recommend this film to all people who enjoy a good action film and it is certainly the better of the two films made on the suicidal charge.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC EMPIRE MAKING, 8 Jan 2006
By Steven (London) - See all my reviews
A classic British Empire film set in the backdrop of India and the Crimea. The story begins with a brutal massacre of soldiers in a British garrison in Colonial India. Then the story drifts into the Crimea and in the beautifully shot, Light Brigade charge!
This film is one of the last remaining that makes the British Empire look heroic. The battles are superb and are shot in the way like old western film shootouts!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), 25 Dec 2008
By C. W. Bradbury (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Charge of Light Brigade [DVD] [1936] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Although its purpose in 1936 was to raise a spirit of military self-sacrific in America's young men prior to WWII; this film is still one of both Errol Flynn's, and Hollywood's all time greats! and dispite the historical inaccuracies;(Union Jacks flying proudly upside down for example!) the films basic themes have undoubtedly stood the test of time. Brotherly love strained by a beautiful woman. Cowardly treacherous behaviour ultimately avenged by a thundering cavalry charge of the Empire's gallant soldiery. Noble Commander's protecting a fallen hero's good name; this film has it all and more! Full of understated emotions, dignity, courage, loyalty and honour plus a large dash of decency, they simply don't make films like this anymore! On a graver note, if they ever start too, perhaps we should all begin to take a deeper interest in world events, but until then; ENJOY IT!!!!! IT'S A CRACKER.
