Why is The Charge of the Light Brigade so rarely even mentioned among Errol Flynn's swashbucklers? It's a terrific movie, something like the peak of spectacular Hollywood action filmmaking and the bravura style of Michael Curtiz. The setting--till the Crimean War climax--is the Indian frontier (impersonated, as so often, by rocky Lone Pine, California), where the 27th Bengal Lancers run afoul of an Oxford-educated slime named Surat Khan (C. Henry Gordon). Flynn and Olivia de Havilland bring real tenderness to two-thirds of a romantic triangle (the other corner is the hero's brother, Patric Knowles). There's the fearsome siege of Chukoti, an unspeakable atrocity, and finally the foolhardy, inspired Charge at Balaklava. The camerawork and editing of that grand sequence never cease to astonish. History (and political correctness) is better served by the 1968 Tony Richardson movie, but for unabashed epic sweep and matchless thrills, this is the one you want. --Richard T. Jameson

For some reason, THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE (directed in 1936 by Michael Curtiz) is always forgotten when people talk about Errol Flynn's movies. It's one of the all-time greats for Flynn, in which he plays gallant Major Vickers, an officer in the 27th Lancers, whose personal story entwines with the horrors of the Crimean War.
Major Geoffrey Vickers (Errol Flynn) is engaged to lovely Elsa Campbell (Olivia de Havilland), the daughter of one of his superiors (Donald Crisp). Unbeknowst ... Read More

There is a great colorized version of this film. It is one of the Greats with Errol Flynn at his best. I got the the color version off one of the movie channels which included a very interesting commentary (several years ago). I doubt if they ever release it on DVD unfortunately. I just thought I'd mention it : write the studios and hold out for the color version. The uniformology is much better in color. This is one of the classic films that it was very right to colorize.

A film I've waited a long time for on Dvd.I've always enjoyed Errol Flynn in his swashbuckling adventure films and this is typical of one of the best of them.As a child I had to learn the famous poem of "The Charge of The Light Brigade" at school and although film makers don't always follow history exactly this is still a good one to watch and have in your collection.A good story line and the charge at the end will get your pulse racing. Enjoy.

I think "Charge of the Light Brigade," with Errol Flynn is among one of finest films, with one of the finest actors of all time. It does have every element. The story is strong and moving, with much heroism and true friendships in it. David Niven and Patrick Knowles are excellent in it as well as good and forever loyal friends to Major Vickers. The film has a lot of meaning and truth in it, excellent story and acting by all. Olivia de Havilland is a great actress too and very beautiful. She and Flynn are ... Read More
