He is then given four white feathers by his friends and fiancée as a symbol of cowardice. Determined to win back his honour, Feversham exposes himself to hardship while disguised as a Sudanese in an attempt to aid his comrades. Directed by Zoltan Korda, this was the fourth film, but first sound version, of the tale. desertcart.co.uk Review Far too many film versions of the The Four Feathers have been made over the years, which is especially surprising considering that this 1939 Korda brothers production is surely definitive. The film simultaneously celebrates and pokes fun at British imperialism, showing the kind of dogged stiff-upper-lippery that forged an empire, but also the blinkered attitudes and crass snobbishness of the ruling classes (and those plummy accents--did people ever really talk like that?). Whatever political subtext may or may not be read into it, though, the film is best celebrated for its magnificent vistas: partially made on location in the Sudan, as well as at the famous Denham Studios, this is British cinema from the days when it thought to rival Hollywood for sheer spectacle. Vincent Korda's production design and the glorious early colour cinematography are helped greatly by fellow Hungarian émigré Miklos Rozsa's epic score. John Clements is the notional hero, the man who is determined to show the world he is not a coward after resigning his commission (even though it would surely have saved everyone a lot of bother if he had just stuck with it) but the film is stolen by Ralph Richardson, magnificent as an officer struck blind and led to safety by Clements' Harry Faversham. The latter scenes when Richardson's Captain Durrance realises the truth and its implications are the most poignant and emotionally truthful in the film. C Aubrey Smith is delightful as the old buffer who relives his battles on the dinner table; to a modern audience, however, the "blackface" casting of John Laurie as the Khalifa strikes a discordant note. But adjusting some expectations for its vintage, this is a triumph of derring-do and far and away the most gripping version of this oft-told story on film. --Mark Walker Review: a great love story wrapped in a fantastic Victorian war/adventure story - I Totally agree with other reviewers about this film being a classic amongst British films , a great love story wrapped in a fantastic Victorian war/adventure story , i wont deal with the overall story as i know others have done a better job of this before , my brief review is for anyone thinking about whether it is worth buying the new Bluray copy which has been released over maybe an old dvd copy they have . lets remember firstly that this movie is 76 year old , and although it has been restored because of the film stock used at that time there is a lot of graininess in many parts of the film , mostly in the internal studio shot scenes , and in the filtered darkness scenes midway through the film , this is to be expected , what i didn't expect was the fact that most of the movie especially the scenes shot outside would be so stunning and so very very well restored . i had to stop rewind and just glory in some of these scenes , they were so sharp and so bold with the contrast and colors that they looked like they had been filmed last week . The red of the British tunics was stunning the colors of the African landscape and the native tribesman robes etc was so sharp and distinct , even the mighty Nile looked incredible with the muddy waters rushing by with great clarity and definition , now i watched this on a Samsung 55 inch Led T.V. and i was extremely impressed with the jump up in quality from the old dvd copy i have in my collection , this is surely the best this old classic has ever looked , and how many times do we here of a totally below par dvd transfer to Bluray failing to impress . There,s a couple of extras on the disc which i have not had time to look at yet inc a 1975 interview with Ralph Richardson and the usual original film trailer , also a newsreel film called " A DAY AT DENHAM " as well as an image gallery , the cover artwork is great and who ever did the restoration made an incredible job of the old film , it is in my opinion WELL WORTH the upgrade especially if you have the right T.V. and set up to get the best out of the Bluray disc , so don't hesitate to get it and enjoy this classic all over again as you have never seen it before .. Review: "There's no place in England for a coward" - The above statement is chortled lustily by a white-whiskered veteran of the Crimea, as he, along with his chums, brandies and cigars in hand decry the 'modern' soldier. Though this vibrant Technicolour adventure was released as WW2 was unleashed, we're talking of the late Victorian period and the Sudanese battles. Starchily stiff in both attitudes as well as English accent and starting off a little hoary, it's actually a damn fine story and remains one of Britain's best epics of the time. First made in 1929 as an early talkie and also a dull and more violent version in 2002, with Heath Ledger unfortunately lacking the essential charisma. 'Storm over the Nile' was a remake in 1956 and a TV movie was shown in 1977. Cowardice IS the subject, but don't get too misled that the British Army and its attitudes were slipping on this contentious issue, as recompension and doing one's duty above and beyond are what it's all about. Though a little improbable at times, it's more akin to Lawrence of Arabia in complexity and characterisation than, say Michael Caine in Zulu, though this pre-dates both those by 25 years or so. Moments in the desert still evoke quite scary watching, boosted by Miklos Rosza's rousing score and Henry Korda's excellent and tight directing. Scenes of the running battles on horseback with the natives were so well reproduced, some have been used in films since and still pass muster today - they must have appeared even more formidable 63 years ago. The way the human story, the wartime adventure and the sense of family duty, marriage and honour are all interwoven is what makes this a steadfastly watchable film for all the family to this day. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00008AWV3 | | Actors | C.
