Notes
The film's highlight: the charge itself, a masterful, pulse-pounding nine minutes of thundering hooves and flashing sabers that stands up magnificently against any Hollywood action scene of today - and brought 1936's Best Assistant Director Oscar® to Jack Sullivan for his staging of the vaunted sequence. Errol Flynn, fresh off his success as Captain Blood, stars as the leader of the 600 horsemen. Olivia de Havilland, his Captain Blood leading lady, co-stars. And legendary Max Steiner makes his Warner Bros. debut a memorable one with his stirring, heroic musical score. Here and forever, the Light Brigade rides.
