Great movie. The little touches really make it. The concern for the singers. The Soldier’s sadness over the calf. The troublemaker who becomes a hero and returns to being a troublemaker.

I think they managed to portray the British Soldiers in a positive manner without disparaging the Zulu warriors.

The family of Hickie (played by James Booth) was outraged at his portrayal. He apparently was nothing like that heroic rebel and outlaw. But that’s show biz. The final salute of the Zulus is also fictional but who gives a damn?
