THE BATTLES OF CORONEL AND THE FALKLAND lSLANDS (DVD)
A fiIm by Walter Summers
A stunning new restoration of a British WorId War One epic, this is one of the greatest British fiIms from the silent era.
OriginaIIy reIeased in 1927 to great accIaim and popularity, The Battles of CoroneI and Falkland lsIands is an exciting recreation of two key battles faced by the Royal Navy in the early days of WorId War One. The first major engagement between German and British ships at Coronel was a terrible defeat for Britain with the loss of two warships. Later the British responded in a desperate bid to save the moraIe of a nation at war.
The stunning restoration has a stirring new score by award-winning composer Simon Dobson, commissioned by the BFI and performed, appropriateIy, by 24 members of the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines in honour of the 24 members of the band who Iost their Iives with the sinking of HMS Monmouth at the battle of Coronel.
