The four feathers is a classic tale of romance and
courage in a time of war. It's 1880 and Harry Feversham is forced, by
his family history, into a lifelong career in the military. However
falling in love makes him realise his long and painful fear of war, and
on the eve of his engagement, when he receives his orders to go and
fight, Harry decides to conceal the news form his fellow soldiers and
resign. His family friends and fiancée find out and each
present him with a single white feather as a symbol of his treachery.
To prove his honour and win back Ethne's love, Harry secretly follows
his regiment to Sudan. This truly compelling story tells of one man's
struggle for freedom and his painful journey of self-discovery.

This
is the 3rd remake (to my recollection) of this story, and the last and
fourth remake was done in 2002. I can't say this version is the best as
I haven't seen the previous, but certainly this one is far better than
the newest.
All I can say is that this film is a nice try to do something good,
Robert gives a lot of good acting, but Beau Bridges is not convincing
at all as Harry Feversham. Let's say that Jane Seymour is too pretty
for him and I would have preferred she had chosen Robert at the end! |

Favorite Scenes |
| Even
if it's not a scene with Robert Powell, I liked the scene mixing
Harry's feeling he's a looser and he wants to commit suicide and the
soldiers' departure to Africa. It was really well done and
showed
that Don Sharp really can do good things when he wants to. |
