I bet you would not like THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE both the 1936 and 1968 versions.

"I bet you would not like THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE both the 1936 and 1968 versions."

The Internet rumor is that 100 horses died in the filming of the chariot races in the 1st remake of the movie "Ben Hur" (1925). Or was it 150? Ask any vegan and they'll tell you it was nearer 11,000. Regardless, it likely was dozens.

Dear Ruy Dias de Bivar, have you run out of FAMOUS BATTLES and POEMS??

I don’t how many comments you send me...the answer shall be the same.

Surely there is SOMETHING that disturbs you, in some way, that makes you NOT want to see it. Like a Bud Light ad, a Victoria’s Secret fashion show, a Pride Parade??????

“I bet you would not like THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE both the 1936 and 1968 versions.”

The charge in the Errol Flynn movie was terrific, even though the movie as a whole was silly even for its day. If you want British colonialism done right, you want “Gunga Din” instead.

The ‘68 version is awful through and through. It’s sometimes comic depiction of a perfectly stupid war is ham-fisted.
