“A timid 1880s British Army officer resigns, burning his last-day summons to war in Egypt. Accusing him of cowardice, his girlfriend and three friends give him white feathers. To gain redemption, he shadows his friends to save their lives.” – IMDb
“The Saga of the Sudan . . . filmed in breathless beauty! Valiant Kitchener marching to avenge Khartoum! The fearful ‘Fuzzie-Wuzzies,’ only native troops that ever broke a British ‘hollow square’! A lightning story, alive with drama – seen through the eyes of a man who was branded a coward . . . and who lived to hurl the words in the teeth of his accusers!” [From the ad copy]
