Starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Peter Bowles, Howard Marion Crawford, Harry Andrews, Jill Bennett, Mark Dignam, Mark Burns, David Hemmings, Trevor Howard, John Gielgud

Directed by: Tony Richardson

One of the most famous blunders in military history, which sent the Light Brigade to its doom at the Crimea, provides the climax of a passionately felt and provocative British film. Tony Richardson creates a sweeping panorama of mid-Victorian England in all its complacency and callousness, and a biting screenplay by Charles Wood brings wit as well as anger to dramatising the gulf between the leaders and the led. The film affords memorable roles for Trevor Howard and John Gielgud. The Charge of the Light Brigade stands confirmed as one of the most stylish and original achievements of a key era in British moviemaking.
