I saw the film for the first time at BBC on July the 27 of 2005
 and it is a great film. I have seen it twice and I am still amazed at how well it has been received. It has a very good story and a good cast and the story is very well told. The acting is superb and there is no doubt that the actors are great. There is also a lot of humour in the movie. This is one of the best films I've seen in a long time. If you are looking for a film that is well made and well acted, this is the one for you. You will be glad you did. Highly recommended. 8/10. 7/5. 10/9. 9/8. 4/7. 3/6. 2/4. 1/3. 0/2. *from IMDb*<br /><br><strong>The film is based on a true story.

. I was very impressed with the acting and the direction. The film is very well done and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the history of the British Empire.
