    I've already given D.A. too much credit, and I recognize his historical importance.
    To be honest I don't think we'd be missing him if he didn't exist- he's not essential.

    Did you notice that he only has films of big stars? Monterey: Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and David Bowie?
    Chuck Berry, Brandford Marsalis, Depeche Mode...
    He's an opportunist, no matter how much historical importance. Where are his follow-ups? They're only padding!
    Where are his in-depth docs? He makes his films as much for the subject as his own glory.
    He got a career out of riding coattails, and I noticed he's had several marriages.

    The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936)

    Errol Flynn is Maj. Geoffrey Vickers, a British officer who leads a famous counter attack in India.

    This is a poor man's Gunga Din, and not very faithful to history or the poem by Lord Alfred Tennyson.
    It's got visuals that seem authentic: palaces, forts, vistas, horses and nice costumes.
    It's also got the gorgeous Olivia de Havilland, who starred with Flynn in several Warner Brothers classics.
    I'm glad I saw this, but I don't need to see it again.
