Barry Lyndon (1975). Battle scene here. I must admit I didn't notice this film until the early 80s when it came out on video. I bought a copy despite it being quite expensive. Then the soundtrack on vinyl. I introduced this film to my friends the 36th foot and I Sent them up a copy when they had her togethers. The drumming has also been influential. The drumming was copied by ECWS drummers who used to call it Bee Gees (British Grenadiers).
I just watched it on YouTube the other night. From what little I know of the period, the uniforms and sets looked quite accurate.
ReplyDeleteIt is well regarded. Worth watching for the music alone.
