Amazon.co.uk Review
What it lacks in grandeur, this 1978 TV version of The Four Feathers makes up for in fidelity to AEW Mason's classic novel. By cannibalising the superior 1939 production for epic shots and sequences, this modest adaptation draws attention to its meagre production values, relying heavily on casting and chemistry to compensate.

That it succeeds, more or less, in capturing the essence of Mason's grand adventure is largely due to the appeal of Beau Bridges and Jane Seymour in the prime of their early careers. (Bridges' film career was gaining momentum; Seymour would rise from here to the similarly romantic Somewhere in Time.) Bridges is the shamed soldier Harry Faversham, transcending cowardice by rescuing his closest friends during Britain's bloody campaign in 1870s Sudan; Seymour is his beloved back home, torn between Harry and the seemingly braver Jack (Robert Powell). TV veteran Don Sharp provides tepid direction, while screenwriter Gerald DiPego would continue his prolific career for decades to come. --Jeff Shannon

Synopsis
Based on A.E.W. Mason's novel, THE FOUR FEATHERS sees Harry Faversham (Bridges) an army officer resign his commission to go to Britain's Sudan campaign on the eve of his engagement. His fiancee (Seymour) and three friends each send him a white feather as a sign that they believe him a coward. So Faversham, incognito, embarks on a dangerous quest to prove his bravery and heroism by saving the lives of his former comrades.

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad, not bad., 28 Nov 2000
This review is from: The Four Feathers [VHS] [1977] (VHS Tape)
It's fine if you like that sort of thing - jolly good fellows and all that. It's well made, and raises some questions, but on the whole its just a good yarn with some light humor, and the underdog winning through.Very watchable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Khaki uniforms in battle!, 24 Jan 2006
By Josh (London) - See all my reviews
This film has been the first colonial war film which I've seen, where British soldiers are seen wearing khaki.
Although this film is not as good as such films as Zulu, it has some great fighting sceans, and is a great picture to watch on a Sunday afternoon!
