    Contemporary view and some extra info...

    Sound and dialogue added and re-released in 1930. Silent Version 1930.

    Going to call new version "Valley of Death" but Gainsborough had a massive fire during sound production (1930) and went back to original name following death of a studio assistant a week after the fire.

    "Brilliant record of the immortal charge of the Light Brigade, with dramatic story giving personal interest to the episode. A fine conception of a great subject shown with artistic and dramatic effect." (BIOSCOPE, April 16, 1930).
