Tony Richardson

Filmen skildrar den ökända militära katastrofen under Krimkriget 1854, där den brittiska lätta brigaden skickades i en dödsattack mot ryska artilleripositioner på grund av inkompetens och arrogans hos befälen. Historien är en satirisk och kritisk skildring av den brittiska arméns ledarskap och klassystem.

The governor in charge of the reform school (Michael Redgrave) preaches to his inmates that exercise and physical challenge can permanently destroy a boy's rebellious streak. But Colin is fortunate enough to be on the boss's good side due to his natural running prowess and is offered the chance to train for a race against the local public school. Tensions build as the big day approaches and after a lot of time spent thinking on his lonely runs, Colin might just reconsider his naturally rebellious instincts.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>
