One of the best accounts of camaraderie the building of a fighting force. Good to see it in colour but regardless of the format ONE OF THE GREATEST WAR MOVIES.

I always had a sense of foreboding as that final scene unfolds.. because you know that in real life.. not all of them would have made it.. maybe none of them. Its one of those movies that doesnt really have a happy ending. But seeing it in colour was a revelation.

A time when the entirety of this beautiful nation came together... Butchers, Grocers, Salesmen and the odds and ends. Britain had the most powerful and extensive empire ever to exist - and where we went, we did good. Admittedly, there were some very dark blotches during our Colonial expansion but history proves that for every Man, Woman and Child killed a thousand were saved. We, the British, brought the light of Civilisation, Science and Democracy to the World... we may not have founded all of them but we carried the torch on. Now, right now!... in a Country slowly being invaded and infested, we need again, the Heroism shown in this Movie.

the colorization is all over the place with the soldiers uniforms from green to blue when i think the khaki worn by these men might have been more of a brown colour. the chelsea pensioners are seen wearing their red coats which the process had rendered grey, although on a daily basis they would be wearing their dark navy blue coats with the red being kept for ceremonial wear.

In the movie, one of the actors does a recitation of the poem, 'The Lynching of Black Maguire' Does anyone know the full poem, or who wrote it? I've been searching online for it but can't find it. Google just keeps suggesting 'The Lynching' by Claude McKay, which isn't what I'm looking for. If anyone could post a link for this poem, it would be most appreciated.

Great film, one Great error. Troops would have despatched within weeks in 40, 41?, without any significant training. Pure Hollywood, in the BBC, a fantastic character development with a clear propaganda agenda, much like most films of the day, but certainly below 500 on the list of best war films. Much higher for content, but not as a "war film"
