Movie
Khartoum
Synopsis
Handsome, thoughtful, historical epic relates the last year of bible-reading, brandy guzzling, slavery-busting misogynist, General Charles Gordon. The famed Victorian soldier finally fell after defending the Sudanese city for 317 days from 100,000 dervishes led by fanatical Muslim, The Mahdi (played by Laurence Olivier). Amid the expansive Cinerama photography of exquisite desert locations, mighty action sequences and thousands of extras, lie intimate and finely acted portraits of the complex characters at the centre of the battle.
