Deadline Gallipoli

Well, I just wrote a longish review here, but touched the wrong spot on the screen and deleted it. So I will keep this short and sweet. I enjoyed the movie with the great camera work of the scenery and battle segments. The acting was fine if a little wooden in places. The three main characters, the journalists, just me as a bit two-dimensional overall. Two of them hard drinkers, cheated in their work, and cynical and therefore irresistible to gorgeous women (presumably homely ladies found them less so.) The third reporter was honest but that worked against him with the soldiers he was with. All three reporters grew as characters and became more likable. It is a tribute to the soldiers from countries like Australia and New Zealand who gave their all serving under bungling British military leadership.
