British Empire: Films: Khartoum (366 words)
The film Khartoum marks something of the end of an era for films dealing with the empire.
The film holds very tightly to the mythology of the story expounded by the Victorians after his death.
The film was quite a large budget affair and so has plenty of good sets, props, extras and wonderful scenery.
