Zulu (1963)
Country: GB
Technical: Technirama 135m
Director: Cy Endfield
Cast: Stanley Baker, Michael Caine, Jack Hawkins, Nigel Green, Patrick Magee, James Booth
Synopsis:
In January 1879 Zulus destroy a British column and descend on a Swedish mission being used as a military hospital, known as Rorke's Drift.
Review:
The story of one of the most gallant actions fought by the British army, and one of the few Imperial confrontations in which the opposition could be said to have had a fighting chance. The makers take their cue from these twin factors, producing a film of stirring heroism while at the same time extolling the dignity of the Zulu warrior and indeed enlisting the nation's help in peopling the cast. Scenery of stunning beauty, character acting of true class and a superb score make this the most satisfying historical epic ever.
