What they share

Theysit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cast a Giant Shadow, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Four Feathers is

A handsome rebuke to jingoism, or at least it thinks so. A British officer shamed as a coward during the Mahdist War attempts to restore his reputation by covertly aiding his former comrades. It is not quite Beau Geste, but the sands are pretty.
