Could be Cinefiles but I’ll follow Dave’s lead and post this as a TV event…
Tivo Alert TCM Wednesday 6/17 6:00AM 1968
Tragi-comic revisoning of the famous debacle as a function of over-invested aristocracy vs. professional soldierly. Probably looks better now than when it came out, with proto-Python animations of 19th century political cartoons and scenery chewing turns by Brit greats like Gielgud and Howard, along with a very young Vanessa Redgrave.
Those who know history are doomed to laugh at it. (and fashion lovers get both Lords Raglan and Cardigan in one flick…)
exactly as i would have described it.
ok, im recording it. big expectations.
