Forty Thousand Horsemen
Charles Churvel
Charles Churvel brings attention to the Australian screen by telling the story of the Australian and New Zealand cavalry who helped move the German forces across the Dardanelle’s.
The film has a sweetness to it by being based around the relationship between a man and girl, Churvel juxtaposes the horror of war with their relationship. It was a large feat at the time and should be credited for its initiative.
It is one of the films that is the base of our industry. It sets up our Australian history as a strong and brave country who are willing to help. The film has nice character to it.
