Heroes for Sale
Genres: Drama
Starring: Robert Barrat, Richard Barthelmess, Edwin Maxwell, Grant Mitchell, Charley Grapewin, Robert McWade, James Murray
Directors: William A. Wellman
Country: USA
Year: 1933
After cunningly disguising a terrific Delmar Daves collection under the title Warner Romance Classics, those crafty folks at Warner Home Video have slipped out a highly cinephilic selection of early William Wellman films under the title Forbidden Hollywood, Volume 3. The highlight of the batch is the 1931 Other Mens Women, a drama from 1931 that allows Wellman, an early master of the bromance, to recreate the love triangle of Wings against a railroading background; his two classic social realist studies of 1933, Wild Boys of the Road and Heroes for Sale, are not far behind. For me, the minor films in the bunch are th...

The Charge of the Light Brigade
Genres: Action, Adventure, Romance
Starring: Patric Knowles, Olivia de Havilland, Robert Barrat, David Niven, Donald Crisp, Errol Flynn, Nigel Bruce
Directors: Michael Curtiz
Country: USA
Year: 1936
Why is The Charge of the Light Brigade so rarely even mentioned among Errol Flynn's swashbucklers? It's a terrific movie, something like the peak of spectacular Hollywood action filmmaking and the bravura style of Michael Curtiz. The setting--till the Crimean War climax--is the Indian frontier (impersonated, as so often, by rocky Lone Pine, California), where the 27th Bengal Lancers run afoul of an Oxford-educated slime named Surat Khan (C. Henry Gordon). Flynn and Olivia de Havilland bring real tenderness to two-thirds of a romantic triangle (the other corner is the hero's brother, Patric Knowles). There's the fearsome siege of Chukoti, an u...
