THE VICTORIA CROSS is a short, silent film made in America in 1912. The subject matter is the Crimean War, and the film attempts to cram three separate story lines into the brief running time. The first is a traditional romance which is a complete time waste; the second involves good old Florence Nightingale, but is so brief as to be a mere sketch. The final part of the production explores the famous Charge of the Light Brigade and is interspersed with extracts from Tennyson's famous poem. It's not bad, but would had been better with more focus and a greater depiction of the military action.
