Hey Gang

Did anyone ever see a movie produced by the BBC about events surrounding Gallipoli during WW1??? I believe it may have been called "All the Kings Men"- I saw it when I was laying about the house in college and was just blown away and for the life of me- cannot recall the title. Did anyone else see this movie??? If so- thoughts- perhaps it was overly dramatic???

BTW- This wasn't a documentary but a made for TV movie.

Cheers

the TV movie,was called all the kings men,it was based on the story of a PALS battalion raised on the royal sandringham estate.As a tv movie it did the job no more no less,imo,decent piece of drama ,that took no imagination from the viewer.

Forlornehoper is correct, it was based on the true story of the company that was raised from the King's grounds keepers at Sandringham. They went into action at Gallipoli and were lost in action in an a battle that was clouded in confusion. It took years of investigation to determine their final fates. Essentially they advanced too far, got cut off and wiped out. It was an interesting show that included the real historical personalities. -- lancer
