Xmas regular

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2014)

Zulu is one of my all time favorite films. My dad took me to see it when it first came out in the '60's. It's a film I watch at least once a year, but this year I have watched it twice over the holiday due to the poor TV schedule. The interplay between the main characters is extraordinarily good. Jack Hawkins, who plays the vicar and Nigel Green are my favorites. But there are many scenes with other characters that lead up to the main event, the Zulu attack. This film is based on an actual historical event in Africa and it's as well to be aware of them. The great thing is that IMDb carries information concerning the back story for making the film and the actual historical characters. If you have not seen this film, it is heartily recommended.
