An advertisement in our weekend papers told me that it's available on DVD this week, at least in Australia. Perhaps the release was timed for ANZAC Day.

Has any one seen it, is it good and, if so, is a video or DVD available? Stephen The report was a bit misleading, not least in omitting to mention that Joe Murray of the RND is one of the featured men. (Had the reviewer actually seen it??) It ran in the Istanbul cinemas for at least three months and has now been issued on DVD (though not in the UK as yet - though I expect it will be released soon. Turkish copies are available and as out pals on the peninsula pointed out a a while ago you just select the the english language You will find details at http://www.gallipoli-film.com and can download stills; posters wallpaper etc. Indeed I have a print of one of the posters before me as I write. I'm sure a review will emerge under book reviews (we don't have film reviews as yet....) The film is certainly more objective than Peter Weirs flawed "Gallipoli" and I would recommend it to all despite a few minor reservations. One point, though. It is not mealtime viewing; well certainly not the bit where Peter Hart explains what flies, dysentery, disease and latrines really were like at Gallipoli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete O Posted 10 April , 2006 Share Posted 10 April , 2006 Mates On Fox History Channel they are showing a range of docos - one being the new doco on Gallipoli. The reviews ar good. Cheers Bill It will be shown on Anzac Day at 730pm on the History Channel. I saw it when it was released in Sydney. It was an excellent account of events in Gallipoli. It was refreshing to get a view from the Turkish side. I found some parts to be very moving. I ended up seeing it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_suciu Posted 11 April , 2006 Share Posted 11 April , 2006 I also recommend the film "All the King's Men," about he Sandringham Company. I rather enjoyed that film as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
