...they the only cinematic debris. For no good reason, The Charge of the Light Brigade includes a disconnected, listless affair between an officer (David Hemmings) and his best friend's wife (Vanessa Redgrave). Scenarist Charles Wood (How I Won the War) overloads the script with totally unsubtle pacifist propaganda. "It will be a sad day," intones Lord Raglan, Britain's supreme commander in Crimea, "when England has officers who know what they're doing . . . it smacks of murder...

While recuperating, Vanessa accepted an invitation to make her singing debut on French television. Critics raved about her voice, but it was her appearance that dazzled most people. Barefoot and as Duncanesque as ever, she looked like a flowing fountain of purple and mauve chiffon-and only the stagehands could see that her hands were trembling with nervousness through the whole ordeal...
