Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì
The
Charge of the Light Brigade—Encore! movie—has that
terrific Old World flavor with the classic British-style of presentation that
features striking actors such as Trevor Howard, Harry Andrews, and David
Hemming. Ruthless and uncompromising it tells a difficult story with
uncompromising quality that makes it well worth its watch.
