3.0 out of 5 stars Forty thousand horsemen (1941) chips rafferty (40,000 horsemen), March 24, 2008

AUSSIE "lithgow .303" (AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Forty Thousand Horsemen (DVD)

A must for WW1 buff's, shows the australian "she'll be right mate" attitude that accompanied so many australian diggers through the war.

the footage is recorded from original film and is a little "jittery" in the VERY begining but settles down ok, it even has the original "intermission" in the middle of DVD.

realistic audio in battle scenes, none of this studio mixed sound effects but actual "on feild audio". so much noise its hard to distinguish what and where its comming from, just as it would have REALLY been like on the battle field.

if you like the Australian LIGHT HORSE history then this should be in your movie collection,
just remember this DVD is a direct copy of the original 1941 film, and the audio and visual quality is only as good as it was in 1941.
having said that, i'd recomend it to any one who is interested in the Australian war effort.

This review is from: Forty Thousand Horsemen (1941-Australia) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I would like to see this movie. In an effort to draw more attention to it, I gave it 5 stars. If this were a DVD, I would buy it tonight, despite the price tag and the long wait for delivery. If you have seen this movie, please write down your thoughts here.

It sounds very exciting. Should this be a "Classic" WWI movie? Unless it receives more attention, it will remain a secret pearl of Australia.

"They were the men of Australia and New Zealand-the ANZACS-the mad bushmen-the men from Down Under." My husband, who is a gifted historian, knows of these legendary soldiers, but he had never heard of this movie either. We would both like to see it!

I would like to thank firehouse444 for bringing it to my attention in his/her list 'So you'd like to... Find the true gems of Australian cinema !!'. Thanks.

This review is from: Forty Thousand Horsemen (DVD)

This is one of the worst dvds I have seen.It looks like a very poor direct transfer from tape.And to cap it off the whole movie is one chapter.
