The Four Feathers - 1939

1939 British Technicolor film directed by Zoltan Korda, starring John Clements, Ralph Richardson, June Duprez, and C. Aubrey Smith. Set during the reign of Queen Victoria, it tells the story of a young lad accused of filthy cowardice by his hunky, bravado-infused buddies all because he doesn’t want to go to war way the heck “over there” and fight and get all sliced up or worse for interests that have nothing to do with himself or any of the British people in general. His father is disgusted by him and even his girl thinks he might be a sissy, so he decides to prove them wrong.. It is widely regarded as the best of the numerous film adaptations of the 1902 novel by A.E.W. Mason.
