The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936)

Based on the same battle as the infamous Tennyson poem, Errol Flynn and his brother Patric Knowles are British officers stationed in India. A love triangle develops between the two brothers when Flynn’s fiancé Olivia de Havilland inexplicably falls in love with Knowles. This love story is used as the impetus for all of the military actions in the film, especially the final titular charge, and requires the viewer to ignore the chemistry between Errol and Olivia. While the similar looking Knowles is excellently cast as Flynn’s brother, he lacks the charisma and charm of the other actor.
