The complete Four Feathers Movie. I do not own anything. Sharing for fan purposes ONLY! starring Jane Seymour, Simon Ward, Beau Bridges and Robert Powell.
I remember watching the 1930s version of this movie after I left the Regular Army, on late night TV. I never knew the story before then, but I could definitely relate to the protagonist. I came from a military family as well, and it was expected of me to blindly follow in their footsteps. I did my time, took my release and moved on to civilian life. I liked being a soldier, but hated the Army. I was the proverbial square peg in a round hole. I could see it broke my father’s heart, and his peers could not understand why I was “throwing away a brilliant career”. I was verbally berated by all but my father who loved me as most fathers do. One year after getting out, I got a recall offering me a full reinstatement to an administrative position. This was just before the First Persian Gulf War. I wanted nothing to do with what looked like trading blood for oil. Even though it was an administrative position rather than a combat position, I still turned it down. I suppose those who could not understand my decision never will.
Will mankind ever learn the insanity of war it's takes about 21 years to grow a human and what do they do, go to war and your killed in an instant. Millions of these creatures that crawl on planet earth have been killed in this terrible thing called war. Ban all wars.

@@paddymeboy i thought the heath ledger version pretty good. the big battle scene with brits trying to defend themselves from all sides in a box ala napoleon was incredibly done. and desert never looked more alive and alone. and the why we fight speech at the end, shivers.
"Praise for what... for risking a life that wasn't worth keeping." (what a line) And oh, how I know the feeling of it. What a wonderful movie about dignity, friendship, and love. Something humanity is lacking more of, everyday.
Well put.. but also the central question: what is heroic?... prancing around in a red costume because it is "what is done" or following your conscious against the tide and time. The mob have no principles, only blind movement. Peace sister. ;-)
This happened in my family. My father was presented with the feathers. He was having a drink, and ladies handed him feathers. He was badly wounded, having lost his eye in December 1941 in Cyrenaica. Someone said to these ladies that they should not be handing out feathers to badly wounded soldiers. The ladies then requested that my dad return the feathers. My dad then inquired of the ladies "why are you handing out feathers?". They replied that their sons, husbands and brothers were fighting "over there". My dad replied "don't EVER hand these out again. The war over there is just killing people. We need our young men to stay home.". Handing out feathers is a despicable act, and so are the women who hand them out.
I mean its disgraceful and hypocritically cruel in any case, but i'm assuming if he was wounded in Cyrenaica he LITERALLY fought and now lost his eyes and his honourably discharged and yet they still gave him feathers?? What sick mother/father taught those girls to hand out feathers to men for 'perceived cowardice', glad we don't have this imperial mindset where abstaining from war is disgraceful, now it's the reverse tbf .
@@GuineaPigEveryday Thank you for your kind comment. The feathers were a disgusting legacy. My dad's only brother was killed on his next birthday, March 28,1942. My father always liked the Germans. He could never understand why they were fighting. War is crazy. My dad always said the Swiss had the right idea. Be neutral.
This is a story of a great person who wanted to live peacefully away from wars with his beloving woman but all his friends, his father and his lady just humiliated him with those blody feathers, so in the end he proved to all of them that he wasn't a coward, but just a man who loved peace and wanted to stay away from wars thousands miles away from his country. I support that man 100% and If I was in his place I would have made exactly the same decision.
I doubt it. You would have been brought up on a diet of queen and country patriotism, empire and racial superiority from childhood. You would have been out there shooting at the fuzzy wuzzies along with the rest of them.
When someone puts love aside for duty , It says they have a view of the world that puts others first , very rare in politics these days , good film , thanks for posting it .
omg!!! Fabulous movie !!! Crying buckets !!! Jane Seymoure is the eponymy of grace, high class, manners, femininity, and an outstanding actress. I loved this movie!!!
Wikipedia: The Four Feathers is a 1978 British television film adaptation of the classic novel The Four Feathers by novelist A.E.W. Mason. Directed by Don Sharp, this version starred Beau Bridges, Robert Powell, Simon Ward and Jane Seymour, and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. It follows the novel almost exactly, and response to the film was very positive.
"Response to the film was very positive." I've watched 'this' version of the movie, and as far as I'm concerned. While I liked the 'story' just fine, the main reason, that I watched the movie, was Miss Jane Seymour! Man o' man! She was simply gorgeous! Jayne Seymour, and Gabrielle Drake, two of England's better exports!
It is not about triumph of the will. It is about a disgraceful act in handing out feathers. Any such women, and they ARE women who do it are revolting. Decent men ignore the feathers, and the dreadful creatures who present them.
Very good! Not a fan of Beau Bridges, but he had such a good part that I felt sympathetic. I thought Jane was particularly beautiful and acted very well in this. It is hard to show conflicting emotions, but she did it. Something in it for the girls and the boys. Romance and mortal combat. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you!
Love Never Dies!! What a Great Movie! Jane Seymore, one of my Favorite Actresses! So Beautiful in this Movie! Costumes & Scenery...just PERFECTION! Thank You, for Sharing! I Enjoyed It Very Much!!
a beautiful story well told. acting was good all round and Jane Seymour just wonderful as usual. the desert scenes were exciting and the theme music was moving. very entertaining.
great remake of the 1939 version. My mother told me of the movie (original version) 40 years ago and said I would like it. Glad I finally watched it and can agree with her although she passed some 30 years ago.
Men, by reaching out with the will to understand and the unswerving determination to set aside hatred, can destroy the barriers which make others their enemies. if this is true, then certainly the enmities between a father and his son can be healed in time. This is the one thought I can be happy with, here at the conclusion of this story.☺
Thank you for uploading this movie. It was magnificent.Jane Seymour was superb and so was Beau Bridges. The theme song by Allyn Ferguson is mesmerizing.
Back then when men were ought to be the men of dignity and honor with good manners and respect for the God and their country. No weed-smoking, lazyness, disgusting use of language, complaining about everything nor disrespecting their parents. And I say this as a millenial. God save the Queen!
Loved it. The only thing that would have made it perfect was if I was in the lead role instead of Beau. Crazy about Jane most of my adult life. Such amazing grace and beauty.
Thank you for posting. I see from the comments I must see the original and do some worthwhile reading. ( They need to share a tiny bit of water with those Horses!)
Thank you for posting this version, the actors were good, but I prefer the previous versions, Beau Bridges did his best , but he is not English enough , not his fault, he did his best
I haven't watched a movie for a while, am glad I've found a magnificent story.. very noble and ennobling. Thank you so much for sharing this very inspiring film.
I don't really find it noble at all. After my grandmother told me the story of giving her fiancé a white feather before WW1, like so many women did, and him not coming back, it is all too tragic to be noble. She eventually married a man 10 years older than her after the war. The WW1 white feather campaign, championed by the suffragettes, is what killed off the feminist movement, at least in the UK, until that generation started to die off in the 1960s.
A very underrated movie. Well acted, well written, excellent time period trappings and cinematography. Great plot. Emotions, relationships, combat, self-sacrifice. No wonder they made this movie over and over again. However, I really prefer this version. Beau Bridges is great.
An entertaining, well-made film, with a haunting soundtrack, and an insight into the mores and mentality of the Victorian era when men were prepared to risk their lives for the sake of the British Empire. I was particularly impressed by Harry Andrews' performance at the end of the film when, as Beau Bridges' father, he finally showed some sentiment towards his son.
Excellent Comment & Remarks about Harry Andrew's, The General. The only thing I will Add. Is that when He Hears Harry Admit, too turning Down the Captaincy. And Also Stating that His Children Would Not Be Born To A Soldier!! That's when The General's Will & Stoic ReSolve, Desolve. He Turns too Face His Son. And He Can't hold back His Tears, of Sorrow, & Apparent Relief. For At that Moment He is Admitting That He Still Grieves? Like His Son Harry. Does for His Deceased Mother. Who was His Lost Wife. As well as His True Love ❤️❤️❤️. To irmalaura2010 diamantine. I Hope we agree Here on Our Views.
Correction. WantED to be a soldier's wife. A beautiful story of being willing to acknowledge mistakes, learning from mistakes, courage to change, and forgiveness.
Ft. Leavenworth KS., is also called "The Mother of the Army". It got the nickname because so many young ladies from the town of Leavenworth married young officers stationed there in the 19th and early 20th century. I spent 3 years there and was never without a "date" for official functions, balls, and dances. I even married a local girl from Leavenworth. Truth is often stranger than fiction.
Yes, a much better actor than Beau Bridges. Luckily for the film, as his is actually the more difficult and important part. Still not quite as good as Ralph Richardson though.
Thomas Nixon Is it possible for you to get your message across without talking trash Christians? Such hatred and anger! He died so that you may have a life. and in abundance, so chill out!
Thank you for uploading this for us to see. It was supposed to be a good movie and I did enjoy parts of it. I enjoy watching old movies and seeing what passes for manners and good breeding at different times and in different branches of society.
Yes, Jane Seymour is a beauty in this film. I was looking to watch the old B&W version of this movie - I think I prefer it. The Harry Faversham character is more believable in the older version. I never read the book, it's probably the best of all versions ;-) Thanks for uploading this for all of us to enjoy!
Hi Suaad if that is your genuine profile picture you are absolutely gorgeous. Check out the 1939 version of this movie also called "The 4 Feathers". There was a 1950's version called "Storm Over the Nile". A modern version was made in the early 2000's which starred Heath Ledger and Kate Hudson. For historical accuracy check out the movie "Khartoum" which tells the true story of General Gordon starring Charlton Heston which was made in the 1950's. Happy New Year.
Pretty good version but there are a few elements I miss from the 1939 classic. 1 - The Aubrey C. Smith character (Ethne's father) who cut Harry dead when he de-enlisted. Harry later redeemed Ethne's feather by debunking her father's favourite war story. 2 - By revealing himself to the blind Durrance, it ruled out the excellent 39 scene where Durrance is telling the story of the curious fellow who rescued him and then tried to rob him; pulling out a wallet from which his feather falls. 3 - In the 39 version, Harry himself realizes that Ethne should also give him a feather and suggests it. Thanks for the upload regardless.
The footage of the troops marching through town as the regiment leaves is from the 1939 movie of the same name. Actually, there is quite a bit of footage from that movie in this one.
this is my favorite version of this movie its fabulous.Jane Seymour is amazing as usual,and the music I sure wish allyen fergusons music was easy to get.The music janes playing at the piano throughout the movie is awesome.thanks for uploading SuperBamBamx.
Love the theme music (very pretty). Not exceptional acting, but love Beau, especially that young. Jane Seymour is beautiful as always, Robert Powell (Jack) is my favorite in this film, as he played Jesus in "Jesus of Nazareth", which is an extraordinary film... and his VERY best... and my most beloved. He was exceptional as Jesus. So good to see him.
A beautiful version of an often told tale. An Iconic story worth retelling in the Greek tradition. Major changes in the story line work well here. I do prefer the one with Ralph Richardson as Jack but this one is a real corker.
There is 4 versions of this. The original with Ralph Richardson. There is a version from the 1950's called "Storm over the Nile". This version and the the one with the late Heath Ledger.
This has been one of my favourite story for most of my life. So much so that I once visited the city of Suakim in the Sudan whilst on a job in Port Sudan. This city is mentioned in an older version of the film staring Ralph Richardson. I finally decided to read the book by A.E.W. Mason. What a shock.... it was one of the worse book I ever read. Thank God for movie writers who made the story more interesting. This version is very good but I prefered the most recent version with Heath Ledger. By the way, their hair is really like that as described by Kippling as fuzzy wuzzy.
If you are a Jane Seymour fan, I HIGHLY recommend Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve. He is wonderful. SHE looks magnificent, and fits well into the early 1900s look. Time travel movie....Your GF/Wife will Love it. And u too...
I agree, she is marvellous in Somewhere in Time. He is also great. Haunting romantic story. I love the tagline: "Beyond fantasy. Beyond obsession. Beyond time itself, he will find her."
You might like watching The Two Lives Of Jenny Logan starring Lindsey Wagoner who played The Bionic Woman. It's a well storied period drama also a time travel movie.
JB looks like Brian Wilson did when he was young. I met him back stage at the Cow Palace in.. 1965 I think. My sister stood in back of him and said (with her hands on her hips) something about him going bald. lol Fifteen year old being cute. He turned around and laughed. That was my sister. Take on the world Anna. Died of breast cancer in 2000. Missing her tonight. I've had it also. It would be an amazing accomplishment of man if a cure could be found. / Thanks Super for sharing this. :)
I consider this as the best version of the film, "Four feathers". The acting is superb. As I live in a hot country not too far North Africa I can appreciate what these people had to endure. War is stupid and both sides lose, I was born in 1939 and remember WW2 in its final years, When I stayed in England between 1950 and 1970 I used to go to London and all my colleagues did illegal and unsocial activities in which I just refused to participate, and they all called me a coward and a fool. Well, my marriage has lasted over 56 years and I have a good family, All the others are, divorced, dead or separated and living a life on their own, and their children do not want to know them. They all had more money than I ever had, but they do never knew the value of respecting others, I did.
There is no right or wrong they were all good films. The critics have the original as the best one this one third I agree with that having seen them all. But to each his own.
I have no problem with her leaving him; I have a problem with her "hooking up" with his friend right after, AND I have a huge problem with the so called friend doing the same. It's like he (and she) have been waiting for this. Finally, I really didn't like after all that for him to just take her back. Thank you for posting the movie, SuperBamBamx
I agree with you. Some people marry for money, social status, not only for loving a partner. This is a dirty side of people who have to live in a society. Where is real love? Maybe there is no such a thing. But without those accumulated status, he is just a man without anything. By the way, Jack has shown a dirty side in him after he was saved by Thomas. That was a little sorry. By that behaviour, he was no more worth for her.
dixie dragon Maybe most people in the world struggle for creating a family, pleasure and status, and sacrifice the truth of love. But maybe life is such a thing that pass easily in complicated ways.
Yes, it's bad that she starts loving Harry's friend in the situation that Harry is in a very hard situation. Harry later proved that he is a brave man, and then this lead her coming back to him. But I doubt whether she is worth for him.
It took so much courage to show others your essence it's not wearing a uniform but perhaps you can still save a life or two as any other soldier. It'd wouldn't make sense to wear the colors if you don't resonate with that life style.. My favorite highlight is when he sakes hands with his dad, and throws last feather away.. Love finds some people busy but then it always leads you to the right place or at least in this film does! #TheFourFeathers #Film #1875 #2012 #2023 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I remember watching the 1930s version of this movie after I left the Regular Army, on late night TV. I never knew the story before then, but I could definitely relate to the protagonist. I came from a military family as well, and it was expected of me to blindly follow in their footsteps. I did my time, took my release and moved on to civilian life. I liked being a soldier, but hated the Army. I was the proverbial square peg in a round hole. I could see it broke my father’s heart, and his peers could not understand why I was “throwing away a brilliant career”. I was verbally berated by all but my father who loved me as most fathers do.
One year after getting out, I got a recall offering me a full reinstatement to an administrative position. This was just before the First Persian Gulf War. I wanted nothing to do with what looked like trading blood for oil. Even though it was an administrative position rather than a combat position, I still turned it down. I suppose those who could not understand my decision never will.

Ah, a good old tear jerker in the British tradition. Jane Seymore as well as Beau Bridges were really young in those days. Worth the time!
Not as good as the 1939 version but passable.

"No," said Jack, "I didn't see him." And he didn't lie. Such pathos.
That's right. Very subtle lie that could have ruined so many lives.
the definitive version of this film classic, even more than the 2 cinematic versions; the ending is worthy of a jane austen novel
A very underrated movie. Well acted, well written, excellent time period trappings and cinematography. Great plot. Emotions, relationships, combat, self-sacrifice. No wonder they made this movie over and over again. However, I really prefer this version. Beau Bridges is great.
Am I the only one that loves this version over the 1938 film?
@@BenneWillThat version is the best
I had found this at our library a while back and watched it, believe it or not!
An entertaining, well-made film, with a haunting soundtrack, and an insight into the mores and mentality of the Victorian era when men were prepared to risk their lives for the sake of the British Empire. I was particularly impressed by Harry Andrews' performance at the end of the film when, as Beau Bridges' father, he finally showed some sentiment towards his son.
Excellent Comment & Remarks about Harry Andrew's, The General. The only thing I will Add. Is that when He Hears Harry Admit, too turning Down the Captaincy. And Also Stating that His Children Would Not Be Born To A Soldier!! That's when The General's Will & Stoic ReSolve, Desolve. He Turns too Face His Son. And He Can't hold back His Tears, of Sorrow, & Apparent Relief.
For At that Moment He is Admitting
That He Still Grieves? Like His Son Harry. Does for His Deceased Mother.
Who was His Lost Wife. As well as His True Love ❤️❤️❤️. To irmalaura2010 diamantine. I Hope we agree Here on Our Views.
Apparently she didn't love the man, she loved the soldier. She wants to be a soldier's wife.
Correction. WantED to be a soldier's wife. A beautiful story of being willing to acknowledge mistakes, learning from mistakes, courage to change, and forgiveness.
Ft. Leavenworth KS., is also called "The Mother of the Army". It got the nickname because so many young ladies from the town of Leavenworth married young officers stationed there in the 19th and early 20th century. I spent 3 years there and was never without a "date" for official functions, balls, and dances. I even married a local girl from Leavenworth. Truth is often stranger than fiction.
Robert Powell did an amazing job playing Jesus Christ of Nazareth... very moving!
Yes, a much better actor than Beau Bridges. Luckily for the film, as his is actually the more difficult and important part. Still not quite as good as Ralph Richardson though.
Yes, played Chist in that one about 2 years earlier...a most very powerful role !!!
@@paddymeboyI was never impressed by Ralph Richardson as a soldier.
Holy crap, what a great movie!!! So glad I clicked
Explendic movie and so romantic !! thank you for sharing it.
IT IS WONDERFUL, GRIPPING AND ROMANTIC...Not one foul word or torrid scene. EXCELLENT!
Right on Ashley, foul language and porn are not necessary ingredients for a movie to be entertaining..
Thomas Nixon Is it possible for you to get your message across without talking trash Christians? Such hatred and anger! He died so that you may have a life. and in abundance, so chill out!
Thank you for uploading this for us to see. It was supposed to be a good movie and I did enjoy parts of it. I enjoy watching old movies and seeing what passes for manners and good breeding at different times and in different branches of society.
Yes, Jane Seymour is a beauty in this film. I was looking to watch the old B&W version of this movie - I think I prefer it. The Harry Faversham character is more believable in the older version. I never read the book, it's probably the best of all versions ;-) Thanks for uploading this for all of us to enjoy!
The princess of Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger? 👁️🐯
The book is very good, and an easy read for something written so long ago.
aceshandler. There is no black and white version of this film.
WELL...I was Very Skeptical at First...But this is a Fantastic Movie!!!! BRAVO
Oh yes and the final feather was delivered.Great love story and movie. 🥰💘❤🪶
Thank you so much for this! It is great!!!
He deserves to be called a hero! What a story!!
Hi Suaad if that is your genuine profile picture you are absolutely gorgeous. Check out the 1939 version of this movie also called "The 4 Feathers". There was a 1950's version called "Storm Over the Nile". A modern version was made in the early 2000's which starred Heath Ledger and Kate Hudson. For historical accuracy check out the movie "Khartoum" which tells the true story of General Gordon starring Charlton Heston which was made in the 1950's. Happy New Year.
@@johnroche7541 thank you for your kind words and movies suggestions. Happy New year to you as well.
Pretty good version but there are a few elements I miss from the 1939 classic.
1 - The Aubrey C. Smith character (Ethne's father) who cut Harry dead when he de-enlisted. Harry later redeemed Ethne's feather by debunking her father's favourite war story.
2 - By revealing himself to the blind Durrance, it ruled out the excellent 39 scene where Durrance is telling the story of the curious fellow who rescued him and then tried to rob him; pulling out a wallet from which his feather falls.
3 - In the 39 version, Harry himself realizes that Ethne should also give him a feather and suggests it.
Thanks for the upload regardless.
The third version with Heath Ledger changes even more, but I found it very good. I think all three have strong scenes not in the others.
I loved this film. Friendship..nothing quite like it. ❤
The footage of the troops marching through town as the regiment leaves is from the 1939 movie of the same name. Actually, there is quite a bit of footage from that movie in this one.
I saw Jane Seymour in London and she is very beautiful and also not a snob. Thanks.
lucky you . Was this during the royal event ?
this is my favorite version of this movie its fabulous.Jane Seymour is amazing as usual,and the music I sure wish allyen fergusons music was easy to get.The music janes playing at the piano throughout the movie is awesome.thanks for uploading SuperBamBamx.
Old ones the best Jane Seymour, Simon ward and Robert Powell haven't seen or heard of him for ages
The 1939 Korda version is the real champ. Fabulous Rozsa music and brilliant, artistic production. "Feathers" needed no redo.
Love the theme music (very pretty). Not exceptional acting, but love Beau, especially that young. Jane Seymour is beautiful as always, Robert Powell (Jack) is my favorite in this film, as he played Jesus in "Jesus of Nazareth", which is an extraordinary film... and his VERY best... and my most beloved. He was exceptional as Jesus. So good to see him.
Excellent movie. Thank you for sharing it with us. :)
The British era was black era , they killed innocent peoples
A beautiful version of an often told tale. An Iconic story worth retelling in the Greek tradition. Major changes in the story line work well here. I do prefer the one with Ralph Richardson as Jack but this one is a real corker.
There is 4 versions of this. The original with Ralph Richardson. There is a version from the 1950's called "Storm over the Nile". This version and the the one with the late Heath Ledger.
This is the fifth of six versions actually called "The Four Feathers". 1915, 1921. 1929, 1939, 1978, 2002. The one with Ralph Richardson was 1939.
Apparently this version follows the original novel almost exactly
This is much better than somewhere in time
Lovely war movie with romance. Thank you for sharing.
Beau Bridges with a British accent , thats a new one for me
Great movie, highly recommend it, saw this yrs ago & never forgot it
Check out the movie "Somewhere in Time" with Jane Seymour and the late Christopher Reeve which is one of the most beautiful romantic movies ever made.
An example of self fulling prophecy or the damage some parents do when they don't watch they say.
Beautiful story! The ravages of war. The love of life. The defeat of the demons.
This has been one of my favourite story for most of my life. So much so that I once visited the city of Suakim in the Sudan whilst on a job in Port Sudan. This city is mentioned in an older version of the film staring Ralph Richardson. I finally decided to read the book by A.E.W. Mason. What a shock.... it was one of the worse book I ever read. Thank God for movie writers who made the story more interesting.
This version is very good but I prefered the most recent version with Heath Ledger.
By the way, their hair is really like that as described by Kippling as fuzzy wuzzy.
Yes, there’s three versions of this movie and this is the second one! All stand the test of time.
I am from Sudan 👍
Love old movie.2020 have nothing.
A real hero says no to war.
Still watching in 2023. Great movie!
To all the haters, please keep in mind this was a made for TV movie and did well with what they had. I think it's better than the 2002 version.
Truth be told, there are no heroes, but by the grace of God, go we all.
A very good movie ! Jane Seymore was very Beautiful, back in Her day !
Stil is. No plastic surgeries and good gens.
@Wednesday Addams Excuse me ! People make mistakes in while typing.
Thanks so much for this upload. excellent movie!
Having seen all versions, the 1939 version is by far the best.
What a great movie! I’ll have to save it and rewatch it again, I love 💕 ❤it
If you are a Jane Seymour fan, I HIGHLY recommend Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve. He is wonderful. SHE looks magnificent, and fits well into the early 1900s look. Time travel movie....Your GF/Wife will Love it. And u too...
a favorite
I agree, she is marvellous in Somewhere in Time. He is also great. Haunting romantic story.
I love the tagline: "Beyond fantasy. Beyond obsession. Beyond time itself, he will find her."
Totally agree Bugs Buggy. Somewhere in Time is one of the best romantic films ever made.
The music score for "Somewhere in Time" is breath taking. Well acted.
You might like watching The Two Lives Of Jenny Logan starring Lindsey Wagoner who played The Bionic Woman. It's a well storied period drama also a time travel movie.
I wouldn't bother with her again. She was just thinking about her own pride even if he got killed.
MY 4TH TIME AROUND SEEING THIS GREAT MOVIE. i JUST RECOGNIZED ROBERT POWELL, Jesus of Nazareth fame, the best Jesus movie ever. Robert played Jesus.
Simon Ward was also fantastic in this. He was also superb in other war movies set against colonial conflicts such as "Zulu Dawn" and "Young Winston".
Thank you so much for posting this ❤️
JB looks like Brian Wilson did when he was young. I met him back stage at the Cow Palace in.. 1965 I think. My sister stood in back of him and said (with her hands on her hips) something about him going bald. lol Fifteen year old being cute. He turned around and laughed. That was my sister. Take on the world Anna. Died of breast cancer in 2000. Missing her tonight. I've had it also. It would be an amazing accomplishment of man if a cure could be found. / Thanks Super for sharing this. :)
I consider this as the best version of the film, "Four feathers". The acting is superb. As I live in a hot country not too far North Africa I can appreciate what these people had to endure. War is stupid and both sides lose, I was born in 1939 and remember WW2 in its final years, When I stayed in England between 1950 and 1970 I used to go to London and all my colleagues did illegal and unsocial activities in which I just refused to participate, and they all called me a coward and a fool. Well, my marriage has lasted over 56 years and I have a good family, All the others are, divorced, dead or separated and living a life on their own, and their children do not want to know them. They all had more money than I ever had, but they do never knew the value of respecting others, I did.
There is no right or wrong they were all good films. The critics have the original as the best one this one third I agree with that having seen them all. But to each his own.
I have no problem with her leaving him; I have a problem with her "hooking up" with his friend right after, AND I have a huge problem with the so called friend doing the same. It's like he (and she) have been waiting for this. Finally, I really didn't like after all that for him to just take her back.
Thank you for posting the movie, SuperBamBamx
I agree with you. Some people marry for money, social status, not only for loving a partner. This is a dirty side of people who have to live in a society. Where is real love? Maybe there is no such a thing. But without those accumulated status, he is just a man without anything. By the way, Jack has shown a dirty side in him after he was saved by Thomas. That was a little sorry. By that behaviour, he was no more worth for her.
masuda akira in order to survive some people have to marry someone whom they do not love. if you marry a flop your children might starve.
masuda akira
We do the same thing here - marriages are often just mergers of companies and not for love strictly for financial power
dixie dragon Maybe most people in the world struggle for creating a family, pleasure and status, and sacrifice the truth of love. But maybe life is such a thing that pass easily in complicated ways.
Yes, it's bad that she starts loving Harry's friend in the situation that Harry is in a very hard situation. Harry later proved that he is a brave man, and then this lead her coming back to him. But I doubt whether she is worth for him.
It took so much courage to show others your essence it's not wearing a uniform but perhaps you can still save a life or two as any other soldier. It'd wouldn't make sense to wear the colors if you don't resonate with that life style.. My favorite highlight is when he sakes hands with his dad, and throws last feather away.. Love finds some people busy but then it always leads you to the right place or at least in this film does!

Enjoyable film, but the 1939 original still ranks the absolute best .
