Tony Richardson's The Charge Of The Light Brigade - February 8th - Blu-ray Forum

Excellent news to see a release date on BD for Tony Richardson's 1968 version of The Charge Of The Light Brigade. Tevor Howard, David Hemmings, and Vanessa Redgrave star in this recreation of the infamous charge by a light unit of cavalry against overwhelming odds during the Crimean War....

Two big questions about this. First, will the French subtitles be forced or optional? And second, will this be the complete version of the film, which should run for about 140 mins, or the cut version, missing about 10 minutes, that has previously appeared on all DVD editions? (AFAIK, the only complete version to have been released on home video was the UK VHS release on Connoisseur Video, although this was in a compromised aspect ratio of about 2:1 and of course it also suffered from the PAL speed-up.)

Also, I'll just mention that the film was announced for BD release in Australia on 5th October and in New Zealand on 14th November. So far, it hasn't appeared in either country. So I'll believe this release only when it has actually materialised.

I do hope this all works out, it's a favorite movie of mine. Fingers crossed!
