Review of Khartoum (1966) by Paul B — 12 Aug 2009
A big movie that doesn't short on drama, action, and British military incompetence in the late 1800's.
A true historical account of Khartoum in the Sudan, there was no holding back of the budget on this grand display of Charlton Heston and Laurence Olivier. Wow, is Laurence Olivier tan.
The sweeping landscapes, cast of thousands, and dramatic sequences make this a very good historical and theatrical watch.
The drama is a little over the top sometimes but everything else is strong.
