| Crawling under stagecoaches and using real explosives on the set was common practice, and in The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), a horse was accidentally killed on screen. Master Georgie takes us back some six decades to the Crimean War, a scandalously mismanaged campaign which squandered troops to disease and mud and had its most conspicuous folly, the charge of the Light Brigade, burnished into another chivalric myth by Lord Tennyson. The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936): Inspired by history and Tennyson's poem ("Into the valley of Death rode the six hundred"), The Charge of the Light Brigade tells the tale of a band of British Lancers who challenge an army of 25,000 Russians. |
